Kuwait: Labelling Israel’s ongoing raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque “brutal,” Kuwait’s National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim claimed that the latest assault once again demonstrates that the “occupational entity’s calls for peace are false.” It must be noted that several Palestinian worshippers were injured on Sunday after being attacked by Israeli police, who were guarding 450 Israeli settlers as they reportedly broke into the mosque on the first day of the Islamic Eid Al-Adha festival.
Arab Times quoted Marzouq as saying, “It is utterly woeful and shameful to leave Jerusalemites facing their enemy alone, without any support or backing.” The chief lawmaker urged the need for comprehensive Arab, Islamic and global action across political, human rights and cultural forums worldwide to put pressure on an “occupational entity that knows only the logic of oppression and power.”
