The Kuwait court of appeals rejected on Sunday the appeals of a number of parliamentary elections candidates, confirming that Marzouq al-Hubaini, former MPs Marzouq al-Khalifa, Ahmad Moteh al-Azmi and Jaber al-Muhailbi will not run in the polls over violations during byelections.

In a post on the X platform addressed to the interior minister, al-Khalifa said: “We will continue to speak the truth against your unjust rulings at all legitimate platforms.”

“You will not intimidate us,” he vowed, accusing the minister of sowing strife between the Kuwaiti people.

The disqualifications brought to around 200 the number of candidates running in the April 4 National Assembly elections.

The Justice Ministry said 123 schools have been prepared as polling stations throughout the five electoral districts.

Sixteen schools have been set up as polling stations in the first district, 18 in the second, 22 in the third, 28 in the fourth and 34 in the fifth.

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.”
