DOHA/MUSCAT: Kuwait’s National Assembly Speaker Ahmad Al-Saadoun on Tuesday called for greater unity among Gulf Arab states given the current developments in the region, saying such a measure was necessary to bring common aspirations to fruition.
At a time where we "watch with agony” the continued acts of destruction committed by Zionist forces against the Palestinians, which include mass killings that constitute "genocide,” the Kuwaiti top lawmaker told a gathering that joined him with his counterparts from the six member Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in the Qatari capital.
He slammed Zionist entity’s "persistence” in its "aggressive and malicious” ideologies, saying the Zionist entity forces’ "acts of violence” remain unabated as they continue to impede the delivery of humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, subsequently dashing even the faintest of hopes for peace in the region.
Kuwait’s Speaker said that Zionist entity continues to get "unlimited backing” in its war against the Palestinians, emphasizing the need for an immediate humanitarian truce in Gaza that would pave the way for the delivery of aid there. Arab states remain vociferous in their support for the Palestinians, he reiterated, saying peace in the region largely hinges on the end of Zionist entity violence and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
Meanwhile, Kuwait’s First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Talal Khaled Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah affirmed Tuesday that the meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council interior ministers in Muscat will produce a number of decisions that will strengthen the process of joint Gulf security cooperation. This came in a statement by Sheikh Talal Al-Khaled to KUNA after his arrival in Oman to participate in the 40th meeting of the GCC Interior Ministers. Sheikh Talal was received at the airport by the Omani Minister of Interior and the Ambassador of the State of Kuwait to the Sultanate of Oman, Ambassador Mohammad Al-Hajri. — KUNA
