Palestinian cause alive and well in Kuwait: Minister

The Palestinian cause is “alive and well in the hearts of the leaders, government and people of Kuwait,” Palestine’s Minister of Awqaf and Religious Affairs Sheikh Hatem Al-Bakri has said, according to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) reports.

His comments came after holding a meeting with Kuwait’s Ambassador to Jordan and Palestine Aziz Al-Dihani on Tuesday.

The meeting reviewed matters related to the Awqaf ministry and service sectors, with a focus on the support from Kuwaiti charitable organizations to the Palestinian people, KUNA reported.

“The State of Kuwait is keen on supporting the Palestinian political leadership in their quest to establish an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital,” the minister said.

Ambassador Al-Dihani said Kuwait strongly believes in the Palestinian people’s legitimate rights to independence and maintains its support of Palestine on the regional and international scale
