KUWAIT: Kuwait expressed its strong condemnation and denunciation Tuesday of the legislation passed by the Zionist occupation to ban the work of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in occupied Palestinian territories, which will limit the agency’s ability to provide support and humanitarian services to defenseless Palestinian refugees.
In a press release, the Foreign Ministry said Kuwait considers such legislation as part of a series of flagrant violations by the Zionist occupation forces of international law, international humanitarian law, and international resolutions, most notably Security Council resolutions, including Resolution 2417, which strongly condemns the use of starvation of civilians as a method of combat in conflict situations.
The statement also strongly condemns the illegal prevention of the delivery of humanitarian aid and the deprivation of civilians of materials indispensable to their survival. Kuwait renewed its call for the Security Council to assume its responsibilities in maintaining international peace and security under the United Nations Charter. It also called for stopping the genocide perpetrated against the Palestinian people, holding the Zionist occupation forces accountable, and ensuring that the occupying entity does not evade punishment for the systematic crimes it commits against defenseless Palestinians. — KUNA
