Kuwait won’t normalise ties with Israel unless Palestinian issue solved: Official
Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Salem Abdullah has reiterated Kuwait’s refusal to normalise relations with Israel “unless a future Palestinian state is established in line with international resolutions.”
He made the remarks at a news conference held at the headquarters of the Foreign Ministry on Monday.
The minister added he is responsible for Kuwait’s security and interests abroad by maintaining relations with friendly, brotherly and allied countries.
“The Palestinian issue is our first issue, without any ambiguity, Kuwait has never deviated from the path,” he said, adding that the war Israel waged against Gaza is retaliatory, not defensive.
The Kuwaiti top diplomat had called for an immediate cessation of hostilities in Gaza, providing assistance to the besieged enclave.
He also urged ultimately resolving the Palestinian issue through the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders.
