The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Kingdom’s “strong condemnation” of the Israeli Knesset’s preliminary approval of two draft laws aimed at imposing Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank and legitimizing Israeli sovereignty over an illegal colonial settlement.

The Kingdom stressed “its complete rejection of all settlement and expansionist violations perpetrated by the Israeli occupation authorities,” reiterating its firm support for the legitimate and historical right of the Palestinian people to establish an independent state along the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in line with relevant international resolutions.

The ministry also emphasized the need for the international community to assume its full responsibility by enforcing international resolutions, halting all blatant Israeli attacks on the Palestinian territories and people, and advance the peace process based on the two-state solution to achieve lasting security and stability in the region.

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.
