Kuwait condemns incursion by Israeli occupation minister and settlers into Al-Aqsa Mosque

The Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed Kuwait’s strong condemnation and outrage over the incursion by an Israeli government minister and groups of extremist settlers into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, in a blatant violation of international law and an affront to the feelings of Muslims. In a statement, the Ministry reaffirmed Kuwait’s firm rejection of these repeated violations and any attempts to impose a new reality at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, emphasizing the necessity of respecting its historical and legal status quo and safeguarding the sanctity of religious sites in Jerusalem. It called on the international community to assume its responsibilities in putting an end to these violations, reiterating Kuwait’s steadfast position supporting the rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among which is their right to establish an independent state on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
