Kuwait: Absence from Bahrain workshop was part of a principled stance

Saturday 29-June-2019

Kuwaiti deputy foreign minister Khaled al-Jarallah said that Kuwait’s decision not to attend the Bahrain economic workshop that was held recently was in line with its principled position towards the Palestinian cause.

“Kuwait has a firm position on the Palestinian question and it will continue to support the Palestinian people until they have achieved their legitimate rights” Jarallah said in press remarks to Kuwait News Agency (KUNA).

He added that his country’s support for the Palestinian cause is an unwavering stand affirming that Kuwait will continue to abstain from normalizing relations with Israel unless the demands of the Palestinian people have been met.

“Kuwait aspires to see the concerned superpowers take into consideration the resolutions of the international legitimacy and the Arab Peace Initiative that focus on the principle of the two-state solution that guarantees the interests of the brotherly Palestinian people” the Kuwait official said.

His comments follow the US-led economic workshop in Bahrain this week in which the US administration unveiled the economic portion of its peace plan (the deal of the century) which aimed to raise billions for the Palestinians in exchange for major concessions in favor of Israel especially with regard to Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque.
