Kuwait's Crown Prince Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad Al-Sabah is to attend parliament's opening session on Tuesday after elections on Sept. 29, state news agency KUNA reported on Monday.

The crown prince took over most of the emir's duties late last year.

Kuwait on Sunday reshuffled the cabinet. It appointed Bader al Mulla as its new oil minister in a new government, the Ministry of Information in the Gulf country said.

Abdul Wahab al-Rasheed was also appointed finance minister and Salem Al-Sabah as foreign minister, the ministry added.

Earlier this month, Sheikh Meshal re-appointed Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf Al-Sabah, the ruling emir's son, as prime minister.

Saudi Arabia Condemns Israel’s Persistent Aggression against Defenseless Civilians in Gaza

Saudi Arabia strongly denounced on Friday Israel’s military escalation against unarmed civilians in Gaza and its recent strike targeting the European Hospital in Khan Younis that left dozens dead and injured.

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement expressing the Kingdom’s condemnation of the continued Israeli military escalation and its repeated assaults on the Palestinian people, the Saudi Press Agency said on Friday.

The Kingdom reiterated its unequivocal rejection of the ongoing Israeli acts of genocide and called for an immediate ceasefire. Saudi Arabia also held Israel fully responsible for its continued violations of all international and humanitarian norms and laws.

The Kingdom also emphasized the legal, humanitarian, and moral responsibility of the international community to activate international accountability mechanisms and to put an end to Israel’s ongoing violations of international laws and resolutions.
