KUWAIT, Oct 7 (KUNA) -- Forty-five members of the Kuwaiti National Assembly signed a joint statement to reaffirm support to the Palestinian people's right to respond to the recurrent Israeli aggressions and violations.
The Zionist entity escalated their vandalization of the Islamic sanctities in Jerusalem and incursions into the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque in the last few weeks, reads the statement posted to the social media accounts of the signatories.
"Thousands of Jewish extremists repeatedly broke into the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque yards under patronage of the police forces and the right-wing government of the Israeli occupation.
"The Israeli occupation forces also have taken part in the attacks on Palestinian male and female worshippers, and in the desecration of the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque as well as Al-Haram Al-Ibrahimi (Sanctuary of Abraham) in Al-Khalil (Hebron) town in the West Bank, "according to the statement. The Israeli occupation forces have also escalated their incursions into the Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank since the beginning of this year, which left hundreds of casualties among the Palestinian residents.
"All of these crimes took place under the eye of the international community which failed to respond, thus fueling anger among the Palestinian people.
"The Palestinians had no choice other than to defend themselves against such aggressions and violations with all means at their disposal, using their right to self-defense enshrined in all international laws and conventions," the statement noted.
Accordingly and based on the firm popular and official stance of the State of Kuwait, the National Assembly members affirm support to the right of the brotherly people of Palestine to respond to the malpractices of the Zionist entity.
The ongoing incidents are a normal response to the crimes of the Israeli occupation and a legitimate act of self-defense, the parliamentary statement argued.
The Kuwaiti MPs urged the Arab and Muslim nations to shoulder their responsibilities for backing up the Palestinian people's struggle against the repeated crimes of the Zionist entity. Appealing for the governments of the Arab and Muslim countries to support Palestine and boycott Israel, they concluded by saying, "We, as representatives of the Kuwaiti people, are firmly opposed to normalization of relations with the Zionist entity, for Jews usually renege promises." The statement follows the eruption of full-fledged military confrontation between the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas and the Israeli forces in the vicinity of Gaza Strip where hundreds of deaths and more than one thousand of injures have been reported on both sides.
