MWL Thanks King Salman for Supporting Iranian Pilgrims' Needs Until Safe Return

The Muslim World League (MWL) expressed its appreciation for the directive of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, issued upon the recommendation of Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to ensure that Iranian pilgrims receive all necessary services and support until they can safely return to their homeland and families.

In a statement to Saudi Press Agency (SPA), MWL Secretary-General and Organization of Muslim Scholars Chairman Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa praised the royal directive as a continuation of the Kingdom's longstanding commitment to ensuring the comfort, care, and well-being of pilgrims to the two holy mosques, and to meeting their needs until their safe return to their countries.

He prayed to Allah Almighty to greatly reward the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and HRH the Crown Prince for their outstanding services to the two holy mosques, their visitors, and the entire Islamic nation, and to continue bestowing honor, security, and prosperity upon the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

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.
