Kuwait strongly condemns the repeated attacks by the Houthi militia on ships in the Red Sea
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed Kuwait’s strong condemnation and rejection of the repeated attacks launched by the Houthi militia on ships in the Red Sea, the latest of which was the attack on the NCC Masa vessel, owned by a Saudi company, while it was sailing in the Red Sea. These attacks constitute a blatant violation of international law and a direct threat to the security and freedom of maritime navigation, as well as to the safety of international trade.
The Ministry affirmed Kuwait’s full solidarity with the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, standing by its side and supporting all measures it takes to safeguard its sovereignty, protect its security, and defend its interests. It stressed the necessity of adhering to international law rules that guarantee freedom of navigation and safe passage through international waterways.
On another front, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed Kuwait’s condemnation and rejection of the assaults carried out by extremist settlers, which targeted several villages in the occupied West Bank. It emphasized that these attacks are an extension of the Israeli occupation’s policies aimed at escalating violence against the brotherly Palestinian people, representing a blatant violation of international law and resolutions of international legitimacy.
The Ministry stated in a declaration that these assaults reflect the Israeli occupation’s approach of enabling extremist settlers to continue their violations and crimes against the brotherly Palestinian people under the protection of occupation forces, thereby undermining prospects for peace. It called on the international community to take urgent action to halt these attacks and hold their perpetrators accountable.
The Ministry reaffirmed Kuwait’s firm position supporting the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among which is the establishment of their independent state with its capital in East Jerusalem, based on the 1967 borders.
