Statement by the Palestinian community in Kuwait

Almighty Allah said: Those to whom hypocrites said, “indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them.” But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, “sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best disposer of affairs.” (3:173).

The Zionist behavior by the occupying state is to implement its settlement projects in the Palestinian territories, particularly Jerusalem, in Khan Al-Ahmar area, its continued siege of Gaza, its Judaization of Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the state of Palestine, the cradle of faiths, and all that it has of Islamic and Christian spirituality, and the practices of settlers storming and desecrating AlAqsa mosque along with attacks on the elderly, women and children, depriving them from the basic humanitarian rights to worship freely and in peace.

The decision of the Zionist Knesset passing the racist Zionist nationalism on July 19, 2017, based on ethnic superiority and denial of the existence of the Palestinian people, is only a continuation of the occupation state policy in ignoring the rights of our Palestinian people with the support of the United States of America, which disclaimed its international obligations and stepped over traditions and laws in its support of the occupation state by the transfer of its embassy to Jerusalem and its hard attempts to dismantle UNRWA and financial restrictions against it, and to halt its functioning as a prelude to bypass the right of refugees’ repatriation, the latest of which was stopping support to hospitals in occupied Jerusalem and the closure of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) offices in Washington.

We, the Palestinian community in our beloved Kuwait, call upon all Palestinians everywhere to stand as one in support of President Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) during his address to the United Nations in its 73rd session, and affirm the support of Palestinian legitimacy in presenting a national and patriotic strategy through the achievement of the rights and longings of our people in the form of freedom, independence and establishment of the Palestinian state with its eternal capital Jerusalem, which without it, there will not be a solution and peace.

We, the Palestinian community in Kuwait, affirm our support of our leadership, represented by PLO, in its confrontation of suspicious deals. Our people, who have the longest popular revolution of modern history, announce that our leadership will not bargain over the rights of our people, and peace starts from Palestine and there is no peace without Jerusalem and the right to return.
