Kuwait Urges International Community to Take Action Against Israeli Occupation
Kuwait's Call for Justice
Kuwait's representative to the League of Arab States, Ambassador Talal Al-Mutairi, has called on the international community to take a strong stand against the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people.
A Difficult Time for Palestinians
In his speech at the emergency meeting of the League, Ambassador Al-Mutairi expressed concern for the Palestinian people who are facing a challenging time due to the occupying entity's disregard for international law and humanitarian principles.
A Serious and Unified Stance
Ambassador Al-Mutairi emphasized the importance of the international community coming together to address the continuous violation of international laws and conventions by the occupation forces.
The Path to Peace
According to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), the Kuwaiti delegate highlighted that peace in the Middle East can only be achieved by granting the Palestinian people their rights to establish an independent state based on the 1967 borders. Without this, the cycle of violence and hatred will persist, affecting future generations.
Support for the Palestinian People
Ambassador Al-Mutairi renewed the call for the international community to impose a two-state solution and ensure the Palestinian people receive their full legitimate rights. He commended the resilience of the Palestinian people and their resistance against the barbaric war that has violated all customs and laws.
Occupation's Actions and Kuwait's Support
The Kuwaiti delegate condemned the occupation forces' actions since the outbreak of events, including the deliberate targeting of innocent lives in the Gaza Strip and calls for the ethnic cleansing of the defenseless Palestinian people. Kuwait stands firmly in support of the Palestinian people's legitimate rights and will spare no effort in providing them with humanitarian aid for a decent living.
South Africa's Lawsuit
Ambassador Al-Mutairi welcomed South Africa's decision to file a lawsuit against the occupying entity for committing the crime of genocide against the defenseless Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. This step demonstrates the international community's growing recognition of the injustices faced by the Palestinians.
Emergency Meeting for Gaza
The emergency meeting of permanent delegates was called at the request of the State of Palestine and with the approval of the League's member states. Its purpose is to discuss the ongoing aggression by "Israel" against Gaza, which has now lasted for 108 days.
