Speaking to Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) and Kuwait TV following a meeting with a visiting Kuwaiti press delegation, Haniya said Kuwait had "clear" historical stances on the Palestinian issue.
"Kuwait was, and is still, providing in-kind, material, political and popular backing to Palestine in general and the blockaded Gaza in particular," he said.
He also spoke highly of the Kuwait Journalists Association (KJA) delegation's current visit to the territory as a sign of support for the Palestinians. (end) mab.mt KUNA 141751 Jan 11NNNN
