GENEVA: Kuwait on Thursday reiterated its unwavering support for the Palestinian people to achieve their legitimate rights. This came during Kuwait’s speech, delivered by its permanent representative to the UN and other international organizations in Geneva, Ambassador Nasser Al-Hain, to the Human Rights Council, which discussed the situation in Palestine and other Arab territories occupied by Zionists. Al-Hain said, “While the world celebrates the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 75 years have passed since the Nakba of the Palestinian people.”

He added, “Kuwait condemns in the strongest terms the repetitive violations targeting the Palestinian people by the occupying forces.” Al-Hain urged the international community to take responsibility for ending these violations, hold those responsible accountable, and find a solution to the Palestinian issue. Occupation forces shot dead two Palestinians on Thursday in the city of Tulkarm and injured four others in Nablus, said Palestine’s Ministry of Health.

In a press release, the ministry said that the General Authority of Civil Affairs reported that Hudhayfah Fares, 27, and Abdalrahman Atta, 23, were killed after their vehicle was targeted near the village of Shufa, south of Tulkarm. Witnesses told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that the occupation forces prevented ambulances from reaching the casualties.

Four Palestinians were injured and others suffocated during clashes with the occupation forces after raiding the city of Nablus to secure the settlers’ storming of Joseph’s Tomb. The Palestinian news agency reported earlier that hundreds of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of Zionist forces, which denied Palestinians access to the mosque.– KUNA
