The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has affirmed its ongoing support for the Palestinian cause, underscoring the need for Palestinians to gain their legitimate rights, including all occupied territories.
GCC Secretary-General Jasem Albudaiwi reiterated this firm position while speaking at "The State of the Arab World" dialogue session during the World Governments Summit 2025 in Dubai.

The Secretary-General of the League of Arab States Ahmed Aboul Gheit also participated in the session, SPA reported.
Albudaiwi stated that the Palestinian issue should be resolved in line with international and United Nations resolutions. He urged the international community to uphold its responsibility in supporting Palestinians and opposing any obstacles to their rights.
He also stressed the significance of diplomatic and peaceful efforts in reaching a comprehensive solution, advocating for an independent Palestinian state along the June 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital and addressing refugee rights as per the Arab Peace Initiative and related international resolutions.

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.
