AL, Parliament condemn Jenin massacre
CAIRO, March 8, (KUNA): The League of Arab States, on Wednesday, vehemently condemned the Israeli massacre committed in Jenin, which resulted in the death of six Palestinians and injury of dozens.
A statement issued by the sector of Palestine and occupied Arab lands within the league, mentioned that this is the forth bloody massacre to take place since the beginning of the year, as part of open war policy adopted by the radical right government.
The league condemned the storming by Israeli settlers into Al-Aqsa mosque compound on the first day of Jewish holiday, Purim, under the protection of occupation forces, as well as their continuous aggression on Palestinian citizens.
The Arab bloc held occupation government accountable for these systemized crimes, their ramifications, and regional and international reflections.
It also called on the international community, namely the UN Security Council and human rights organizations to intervene immediately and put a stop to these massacres.
It urged for providing protection for Palestinian people affirming their right to an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.
The Arab Parliament also strongly denounced the heinous crime committed by Israeli occupation forces when assaulting the city of Jenin, and called for urgent intervention.
Meanwhile, Kuwaiti Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Salem Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah on Wednesday headed the Kuwaiti delegation participating in the 159th ministerial session of the Arab League Council in Cairo.
During the meeting, the ministers discussed several topics related to Arab security and joint coordination over regional and international issues, mainly the Palestinian issue and its latest developments.
GAZA: The Palestinian Al-Ghad Social Association has praised the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development for supporting some 1,600 Palestinians who suffer from serious diseases.
Regardless of the negative repercussions, the magazine says that oil is still the basis for Kuwait. In late 2022, the government started operating a new oil refinery in Al-Zour and plans to expand production until 2027. The government also announced an investment of $120 million to build the largest petroleum research center in the the world, with the aim of improving production and refining techniques.
For their part, international and local observers have repeatedly warned Kuwait of the “oil curse” and called for financial reforms, but the rentier culture is deeply rooted, as citizens are accustomed to a comprehensive care system that provides them with all their needs, from housing and health to pensions and even employment.
