This came in the statement delivered by Kuwait’s diplomatic attaché, Mohammed Al-Mulla, before the Fourth Committee of the United Nations General Assembly, which deals with special political issues and decolonization.
Al-Mulla affirmed that the Palestinian issue remains at the forefront of matters requiring the international community to assume its responsibilities to end the Israeli occupation of the occupied Palestinian territories and enable the Palestinian people to exercise their legitimate rights, foremost among which is the right to self-determination and the establishment of their independent state on the June 4, 1967, borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
He stressed the necessity of adhering to a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, ensuring the unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid, protecting civilians, and creating the necessary conditions for recovery and reconstruction, thereby paving the way for a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace.
On regional matters, Al-Mulla expressed Kuwait’s strong condemnation of Iranian attacks targeting its territory and that of several sister countries, and Kuwait’s firm rejection of any actions undermining the sovereignty, security, and stability of states in the region. He called on Tehran to fully implement United Nations Security Council Resolution (2817) of 2026.
Al-Mulla emphasized that any Iranian decisions or actions regarding the three islands are null and void and do not alter the historical and legal facts affirming the UAE’s sovereignty over them. He urged Iran to resolve the issue peacefully through direct negotiations or by referring the matter to the International Court of Justice.
He also underscored the importance of preserving the security, safety, and freedom of international navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, and the necessity of halting all practices that threaten commercial vessels or obstruct navigation, thereby ensuring the stability of international trade.
Regarding the Western Sahara issue, Al-Mulla reiterated Kuwait’s support for the UN efforts, led by the Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy, Staffan de Mistura, to reach a just, lasting, and mutually acceptable political solution. He affirmed Kuwait’s support for the autonomy initiative proposed by the Kingdom of Morocco and welcomed United Nations Security Council Resolution (2797) of 2025.
