Kuwait Reiterates Support for Palestine

TEHRAN (IQNA) – Kuwait's position towards Israel is unchanged after its accord with the United Arab Emirates and it would be the last country to normalize relations, newspaper al-Qabas reported Sunday citing Kuwaiti government sources.

Israel and the UAE announced an agreement on Thursday that will lead to a full normalization of diplomatic relations, making the UAE only the third Arab state to do so.

A Kuwait foreign ministry official was not immediately available to comment, according to Reuters.

"The Kuwaiti position is consistent with its decades-old foreign policy approach in support of the Palestinian cause, as it is the premier Arab issue, and only accepting a solution if it is what the Palestinians accept," al-Qabas said.

Palestinians and many Muslim countries have denounced the Israel-UAE deal.
