Kuwait calls on UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Monday to urge the international community to put an end to the Israeli “aggression” in Gaza which has claimed over 500 lives in a determined bid to halt rocket fire from the Strip and attempted tunnel infiltrations into Israel’s south.
The call comes in a meeting between Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Sabah and Ban, who arrives in Kuwait in the second leg of a regional tour aimed at pushing for a ceasefire in Gaza.
The UN chief is separately received by Kuwait Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, the official KUNA news agency reports.
The foreign minister “renewed Kuwait’s support for the Palestinian people and condemned all Israeli acts of aggression,” KUNA says following the meeting.
“He called on the UN Secretary General to urge the international community to shoulder responsibility to put an end to this dangerous aggression,” it says.
The foreign minister also reiterates Kuwait’s support for the Egyptian truce proposal, which was rejected by Hamas for failing to meet its conditions.
