GENEVA: Kuwait called on the international community through the UN Human Rights Council to pressure the Zionist occupation forces to work with the committees of the council to enter Palestinian lands. This came in Kuwait's speech in the dialogue session organized by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Human Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem. Kuwait’s diplomatic attache Fedha Al-Darweesh delivered the speech during the 53rd session of the UN Human Rights Council.
She affirmed Kuwait's support to the statements issued by the groups that Kuwait belongs to, praising efforts of the International Commission in preparing this case despite restrictions and harassment by the Zionist entity. Darweesh stressed Kuwait's strong condemnation to the practices and violations on the Palestinian people and lands by Zionist occupation forces. The 53rd session of the UN Human Rights Council is set from June 19 to July 14, to discuss various human rights issues. The State of Kuwait on Wednesday condemned the attack carried out by the Zionist occupation forces on the city of Jenin in the West Bank where several Palestinians had fallen as martyrs and others suffered injuries.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement, expressed the State of Kuwait’s utter rejection of the dangerous escalation and recurring attacks that "constitute a continuation of the series of violations perpetrated by the occupation forces against the brotherly Palestinian people and flagrant breach of the international humanitarian law as well as relevant United Nations resolutions." It renewed the call upon the international community to shoulder the responsibility and act seriously and immediately to stop the continuing attacks, act to provide full civil and legal protection for the brotherly Palestinian people according to the UN charter and rules of the international law.
Palestinians killed A senior Palestinian citizen had died on Tuesday nearly one month after being shot by the Zionist entity’s forces during an incursion into the West Bank of town of Jenin. Nasser Sanan, 55, died of the bullet injury at hospital Tuesday evening, according to a statement from the Palestinian Ministry of Health. In a related development, Jewish settlers pelted stones at vehicles of the Palestinian residents on the main road between Ramallah and Nablus cities in the West Bank. They also set ablaze the stores and farmlands of Palestinians in Allaban Al-Sharqia village, eyewitnesses told KUNA.
On Wednesday, a group of Jewish settlers shot a Palestinian dead in their attack on the West Bank village of Turmus Ayya, local authorities reported. "A martyr arrived at the Palestine Medical Complex from Turmus Ayya after being shot in the chest," the ministry said in a statement. Around 200 settlers set homes and properties on fire and wounded people who were being evacuated by ambulance, according to residents.
Earlier arson attacks by Jewish settlers resulted in 36 injuries among the Palestinians in Hawarah village and damaged an ambulance, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society. The attacks, systematically backed by the Zionist occupation forces, drew condemnation from the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign which called on the international community, particularly the United States, to step in and force the Zionist entity into halting the aggression on the Palestinian people. – KUNA
