Saudi Arabia's Shura Council rejected and condemned what it described as negative, false and unacceptable assessments and accusations that were raised in the US report over the murder of Saudi citizen Jamal Khashoggi.

In a statement on Sunday, Shura Council Speaker Sheikh Dr. Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Ibrahim Al Al-Sheikh affirmed the Council’s complete rejection of any act aimed at undermining the sovereignty of the Kingdom and its leadership.

He also stressed that the people of Saudi Arabia strongly reject any act that targets Saudi Arabia or undermines its role and position.

Al-Sheikh stressed the Council's full support for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' statement that rejected the report.

He also expressed support to the measures taken by the Saudi government to preserve its rights, noting that the Kingdom is moving forward in achieving security and peace under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince.

Kuwait's foreign ministry issued on Sunday a circular indicating that it had listed eight hospitals in Lebanon as part of regulations related to "combating terrorism.”

Lebanon's health ministry expressed surprise and said it would seek clarification.

It said it received the Kuwaiti statement "with great surprise", adding it had not been provided with "any information or notification from any Kuwaiti entity about this matter.”

"The hospitals mentioned in the statement are registered with the syndicate of private hospitals in Lebanon and carry out their role in providing treatment and health services to all Lebanese without exception," the ministry statement said.

It called the facilities "an essential part of the Lebanese health system,” and said it would contact the relevant authorities to request clarification and "protect Lebanon's health system.”

It noted that "Kuwait has numerous joint projects with the ministry... and has been among the most prominent countries that have stood by the health system during the successive crises that Lebanon has faced.”

The latest move was "unprecedented and inconsistent" with the Gulf country's usual approach, it added.
