Kuwait's Foreign Minister Sheikh Salem Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah denounced on Wednesday the Israeli occupation's systematic assaults on the Palestinian people.

"The Israeli occupation authorities continue their systematic aggression against the Palestinian people, increasing their suffering," Minister Salem said at the 159th session of the Arab Foreign Ministers Council, that was held in Cairo.

"We condemn and denounce the continued Israeli occupation's aggressive violations against the Palestinian people," he added.

Sheikh Salem deplored the Israeli raid in the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank which left six Palestinians dead and several others injured.

He pointed out that such Israeli behavior is an obstacle to peace in the region.

The Kuwaiti official also condemned the Israeli expansion of illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian territories.

He renewed Kuwait's unwavering support for the Palestinian people against the Israeli occupation authorities' unilateral measures that aim to change the historical status of the city of Jerusalem.

He voiced Kuwait’s backing for a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian cause that guarantees the end of the occupation, the return of refugees and the establishment of a Palestinian independent state on the borders of June 4, 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital in accordance with the UN resolutions, the Arab Peace Initiative, and the two-state solution.

The Royal Saudi Air Defense Forces have announced the graduation of the second unit trained to operate the US-made Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system. The training was completed at Fort Bliss Military Base in El Paso, Texas.

This latest graduation follows the completion of training for the first unit several months ago and is part of a broader initiative to build a fully qualified Saudi operational and maintenance crew for the THAAD system- one of the world’s most advanced and precise missile defense technologies. The system is considered a key pillar of Saudi Arabia’s air defense capabilities.

During their training, the Saudi personnel underwent an intensive program that included technical and operational instruction, combat simulation, and advanced field exercises. The course was conducted under the supervision of experts from the system’s manufacturing company, in cooperation with the United States as part of ongoing military collaboration agreements between the two nations.

This training initiative is aligned with the Saudi Ministry of Defense’s strategic objective to enhance the operational readiness and technical proficiency of its forces through advanced and specialized training. The goal is to equip Saudi forces with the skills required for modern military operations, in line with Vision 2030’s focus on military modernization and technological localization.

The Royal Saudi Air Defense Forces continue to implement comprehensive plans to qualify national cadres capable of managing and operating advanced defense systems, strengthening national security and protecting Saudi airspace against potential threats.

The graduation ceremony was held at Fort Bliss in the presence of Major General Abdullah Al-Rubaie, Commander of the Air Defense Forces Institute, representing Lieutenant General Mazyad Al-Amro, Commander of the Royal Saudi Air Defense Forces. The event was also attended by US counterparts and representatives from relevant training bodies.
