Kuwait renewed its support to the Moroccan initiative for self-rule in the Sahara, reiterating the need to respect Moroccan sovereignty.

The acting Charge D'Affairs of the Kuwaiti mission to the UN, Faisal Al-Enizi, affirmed in a speech on Tuesday in front of a special committee session on the Sahara, that the GCC countries were united on the issue of the Moroccan Sahara.

Kuwait news agency (KUNA) on Wednesday quoted Al-Enizi as reflecting the GCC’s hopes that the issue would be resolved soon to solidify security and stability in the region.

He reiterated Kuwait's support of the UN and its efforts - under the supervision of the UN Secretary-General and UN special envoy Staffan de Mistura - that led to the round table meetings on the matter in December 2018 and March 2019.

The Kuwaiti official welcomed the participation of Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, and the Polisario Front in the previous meetings in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions related to the matter.

He further hailed the positivity that prevailed in both meetings aiming at finding a political solution approved by all parties regarding the Sahara issue.

Saudi Arabia and Egypt stressed on Friday the need for an “immediate and permanent ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza.”

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abduallah held telephone talks with his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty to discuss the situation in Lebanon and the Israeli escalation in the region, given the ongoing coordination and cooperation between Riyadh and Cairo.

An Egyptian foreign ministry spokesman said the FMs condemned the Israeli assault on Lebanon that has left hundreds dead and wounded.

He stressed Saudi Arabia and Egypt’s “full solidarity with Lebanon and its brotherly people during this crisis.”

They underlined the importance of offering all forms of humanitarian assistance to the people and enabling the state and all of its institutions to perform their duties and impose its sovereignty throughout the country.

The FMs expressed their categorical rejection of any measures that may impact Lebanon’s sovereignty across its territories.

Moreover, they warned that the prolongation of the escalation may have consequences on the people of the region.

Prince Faisal and Abdelatty called for the full implementation of United Nations Security Council resolution 1701 by all concerned parties.

Furthermore, the FMs called on the international community, especially the Security Council, to assume its responsibilities in reaching an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza.

Saudi Arabia and Egypt will continue to coordinate to address the dangers in the Arab region caused by the Israeli assault against the Lebanese and Palestinian people.
