Kuwait always proves commitment to Palestinians and their cause, says veteran activist

The head of the International Committee to Support the Rights of the Palestinian People (ICSPR) has said that Kuwait has always demonstrated its commitment and loyalty to the Palestinians and their just cause.

Dr Essam Yousef added that Kuwait’s positions adopted by its leaders, people and governments are not surprising.

“Kuwait has never faltered for a moment in providing support to Palestine and its people, even in the darkest moments,” said Yousef. “This goes back as far as the Buraq Revolution in 1936, when Kuwaiti philanthropists gave humanitarian support to their Palestinian brothers.”

The veteran activist welcomed the news that Kuwaiti Crown Prince Mishaal Al-Ahmad received on Wednesday the annual report of the charitable programme in Jerusalem established by a religious endowment — Waqf — established by the late Emir of Kuwait, Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.

Dr Yousef stressed that Kuwait gives expression to its principles in support of the Palestinian cause by providing political, economic and humanitarian aid. He called on Arab and Muslim governments to follow the Kuwaiti model and support the Palestinians in their struggle to realise their legitimate rights.
