The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, has directed the performance of the absentee funeral prayer for the late Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.

The prayer will take place on Sunday, following the Dhuhr prayer at both the Grand Holy Mosque in Makkah and the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah.

The Saudi leadership offered on Saturday its condolences to the Al Sabah family, people of Kuwait and Arab and Islamic nations.

King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed stressed that Saudi Arabia and its people mourn the passing of the Emir with the people of Kuwait.

They wished Kuwait and its people security, stability and prosperity.

Saudi Arabia condemned on Wednesday Israel’s publication of maps that show its occupation of parts of Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, claiming these territories as its own.

In a statement, the Saudi Foreign Ministry slammed such extremist acts that reflect Israel’s “intentions to consolidate its occupation and continue its flagrant violation of the sovereignty of those nations.”

Saudi Arabia called on the international community to assume is responsibility in stopping these violations, “stressing the need to respect the sovereignty and borders of these countries to ease tensions and put a stop to attempts to undermine peace efforts.”
