During the opening speech of the 148th session of the Arab League held on Cairo, Al-Jarallah said: “Kuwait is interested in supporting their brothers in Palestine in order to overcome their suffering.”

The Kuwaiti diplomat condemned “repeated Israeli violations against the holy sites and the Palestinian people”.

He recalled that the UN resolutions 476 and 478 issued in 1980 and resolution 2,334 issued in 2016 oblige Israel, the occupying power, to stop its continuous aggression on Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque, which amount to “flagrant violations of the international resolutions”.
