Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah expressed on Saturday his gratitude and appreciation to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz for Saudi Arabia’s efforts in resolving the Gulf dispute.

In a message to King Salman, he hailed the role played by Saudi Arabia, under his wise leadership, in helping reach a historic achievement that is finding a final solution to the dispute between the Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt with Qatar.

Saudi Arabia’s acting on behalf of the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt reflects the Kingdom’s prestigious standing and pioneering role in supporting the security and stability of the region, he continued.

It also reflects its keenness on unity amid the pressing challenges in the world and region, he added.

Resolving the rift “will be an achievement that restores Gulf and Arab unity against challenges raging in the entire world,” said Sheikh Nawaf.

He also cited the efforts exerted by his brother, late Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah, in resolving the dispute.

Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani said on Thursday the crisis in the Middle East is a "collective genocide," and that establishing a Palestinian State is the only way to ensure peace in the region.
"It has become crystal clear that what is happening is genocide", he said during the Asia Cooperation Dialogue summit in Doha.
The Emir emphasized that there can be no peace in the region without the establishment of a Palestinian state.
The Qatari Emir also condemned Israeli air strikes and military operations "against the brotherly Lebanese Republic".
Israel launched an assault a year ago on the Gaza Strip after Hamas militants attacked southern Israeli towns. 
This week, Israel launched a ground incursion in Lebanon against Hezbollah, which has been firing into Israel in what it says is solidarity with the Palestinians.
