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.

Saudi Arabia has denounced all violations committed against the Palestinian people, with the killing of tens of thousands of civilians, predominantly women and children, in the Gaza Strip.

Head of the Human Rights Section at the Saudi Mission to the United Nations in Geneva Asya Baakdah, delivered on Wednesday the Kingdom’s statement during a meeting of the UN Human Rights Council, reiterating Saudi Arabia's firm rejection of the tragic situation and stressing the urgent need to put an end to it.

Baakdah highlighted the Kingdom’s hosting of the Joint Arab Islamic Extraordinary Summit, which adopted resolutions showing the unified will of Arab and Islamic nations.

She underscored the summit’s plea for an end to bloodshed, unrestricted access to humanitarian aid, and the fulfillment of the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people to reclaim their occupied territories and establish their independent state.

The diplomat said the Kingdom lauded the UN General Assembly resolution adopted on May 10, backing the eligibility of the Palestinian state for full membership in the United Nations.

Baakdah emphasized Saudi Arabia’s appreciation for actions taken by Norway, Spain, Ireland, Slovenia, and Armenia in acknowledging the Palestinian state, while urging other nations to follow suit with bilateral recognition.

Recognizing the collective duty to actively support the realization of an independent Palestinian state, Saudi Arabia -- in collaboration with its partners in the Ministerial Committee appointed by the Joint Arab-Islamic Extraordinary Summit on Gaza Strip developments, as well as Norway and the European Union -- initiated a global alliance to push for the implementation of a two-state solution. The Kingdom calls upon all parties to join the initiative.
