Palestinian embassy thanks Kuwait
KUWAIT: Palestinian Ambassador to Kuwait
Rami Tahboub released the following statement, expressing gratitude to the state of Kuwait for showing support to the Palestinian cause during their chairmanship of the United
Nations Security Council:
“Following the speech of
Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas at the UN
Security Council on
Tuesday and his presentation of a new peace plan to the international community that was welcomed by the majority of council members, it is my honor to thank the State of Kuwait, the Arab representative at the security council and its chair for this month, for inviting Abbas to deliver this historic speech. This would not have been possible if it was not for the presence of Kuwait as chair of the UN Security Council.
“I would also like to thank Kuwait’s Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah AlKhaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah for being on President Abbas’ side all day on Tuesday, which reasserts Kuwait’s stand and unlimited support towards Palestine and Palestinians’ rights.
“This honorable and unprecedented position confirms the stand of His Highness the Amir of Kuwait Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, the Arab diplomacy’s chief and the wise man of the Arab nation, beside the Palestinian leadership, headed by President Abbas, and carries a clear message that Kuwait was and still is standing side by side with the Palestinian people until they receive their legitimate rights of selfdetermination and declaring the Palestinian State with East Jerusalem as its capital.”
