KUWAIT CITY — The Kuwaiti Cabinet on Tuesday decided to provide urgent relief assistance to the Palestinian people in the besieged Gaza Strip that have been under attack by the Israeli occupation forces for some days.

The Cabinet also expressed Kuwait’s condemnation and denunciation of the criminal acts of the Israeli occupation authorities against the brotherly Palestinian people in Gaza that left dozens of people dead and wounded, said Foreign Minister and Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs Sheikh Dr. Ahmad Nasser Al-Mohammad Al-Sabah in a statement issued by the cabinet following the meeting.

The Cabinet’s weekly meeting held on Tuesday under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah at Seif Palace.

These heinous practices are a flagrant challenge to all international charters and norms, the Cabinet said, adding that the acts also undermine all sincere international efforts aiming to achieve fair and comprehensive peace in the region.

They will lead to further tension, violence, and instability in the region, the Cabinet stated, calling on the international community to take immediate and serious action to press Israel to stop these practices and bloodshed as well as end this disastrous reality and sufferings of the Palestinian people in a way that ensure their full legitimate rights. — KUNA
