Parliamentary condemnation

During the session devoted to discussing Israeli violations in the Gaza Strip, representatives of the Kuwaiti National Assembly affirmed their condemnation of the Israeli practices in the Gaza Strip for weeks, which resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries, most of them civilian children and women.

While they affirmed their rejection of normalization with Israel, the representatives noted Kuwait’s official position “in support of the Palestinian cause, which expresses the popular position towards the genocide and massacres practiced by the occupation against the Palestinian people, calling on government agencies to continue humanitarian support for Gaza.”

The representatives denounced “the international silence that revealed the contradictions of Western countries and their reversal of human rights principles and the failure of the United Nations agreements that claimed to implement justice and support the oppressed.”

The representatives stressed “the importance of initiative and coordination to launch international campaigns to implement the United Nations General Assembly’s decision to cease fire and allow the entry of humanitarian relief into the Gaza Strip.”
