KUWAIT, Oct 9 (KUNA) -- The State of Kuwait welcomed on Thursday the first phase of the plan proposed by US President Donald Trump, which includes a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the start of the negotiating process to end the war and the suffering of the Palestinian people in the war-torn enclave.
A statement by the Foreign Ministry said that Kuwait supported all international efforts and paths leading to implementation of the ceasefire, allowing the immediate entry of necessary humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
These efforts would bolster security and peace in the region, affirmed the statement, commending the positive efforts by Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the US, and Turkiye in reaching this agreement.
The State of Kuwait renewed its unwavering stance and support of the Palestinian people's right to establish an independent state within the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, saying that such a right was according to international legitimacy, the Arab Peace Initiative, and the New York Declaration concerning the two-state solution, indicated the ministry.
It also asserted that just and comprehensive peace was the only guarantee for stability in the Middle East. (end) nmo.gta
