Kuwait affirms Palestinian resource rights
The State of Kuwait reaffirmed the Palestinian people's permanent sovereignty over their natural resources, emphasizing the necessity of ending the Israeli occupation and establishing an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. Kuwait called for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, ensuring access for humanitarian aid, and supporting the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) to strengthen the recovery and reconstruction process led by the Palestinians. It also condemned ongoing Israeli practices, including settlement expansion and land confiscation, considering these actions as undermining the prospects of establishing a viable Palestinian state. Kuwait demanded the release of Palestinian revenues held by Israel and highlighted the deterioration of development in Gaza, where per capita income has fallen to 58 cents per day, with reconstruction needs estimated at $71.5 billion. Kuwait reaffirmed its support for the Palestinian people and called for respect of their rights, condemning Israeli violations, with a firm emphasis on Israel's adherence to its obligations under international law and UN Security Council resolutions.
