KUWAIT CITY, Nov 8: The Palestinian Ambassador to Kuwait Rami Tahboub says the statement issued by an Israeli minister about throwing a nuclear bomb on the Palestinians confirms that the person reflects Israeli fascism and blind Israeli racism, and the entire international community must work to prosecute that person. In a press statement issued on the sidelines of the opening of the “Help Humanity,” exhibition held Monday morning at the headquarters of the Women’s Cultural and Social Association, Ambassador Tahboub affirmed that Jordan and Palestine are two states for one people, and Jordan remains the basic lung of Palestine from which the Palestinian people breathe.

He said, “Jordan has opened its arms to the Palestinians from 1948 until this day. It is our basic and first strategic depth and line of defense for the Palestinian cause. We are one people and society. We, as Palestinians, must unite in order to obtain our rights and establish our independent state with Jerusalem as its capital. The exhibition is held continuously every year, but this time it differs from previous exhibitions. The title of this year’s exhibition is “Humanity Calls”, and it is dedicated to our people in the Gaza Strip with everything it contains, and because of what the besieged Strip and Palestine, in general, are exposed to. There is a large and unprecedented international presence in our exhibitions, as it is a message to the international community. This is because the Palestinian issue is completely clear to them and they stand with the right side of this equation. They know who the oppressor and the oppressed are in this genocide that the Gaza Strip is being subjected to, and also the West Bank, which does not want the spotlight on what is happening there. What is happening in the West Bank is a kind of genocide and a war crime by preventing the people of the West Bank from moving between cities, placing iron gates at the entrances to the cities, and preventing citizens from leaving from 5:00 am to 8:00 am in order to allow the settlers freedom of passage. The ambassador stressed that the participation of European countries is appreciated, and all European ambassadors expressed their solidarity with the Palestinian people, adding that the massacre the Palestinians are subjected to is not self-defense, but rather a genocide and attempts to forcibly displace them.

Meanwhile, MP Abdul Wahab Al-Issa said, “I was honored to attend the philanthropic market to support the Palestinian cause. The Kuwaiti government, people, and political leadership support this just and deserved cause. These cultural and social events are nothing but an extension of the community’s full support for our brothers in Palestine. The success of participation is clear from the opening of the exhibition”. He called on all the people of Kuwait to attend these events to support the Palestinian cause. Al-Issa explained that the Kuwait Parliament, following the opening session, held a special session to support the people of Gaza, and sent a strongly worded political message and recommendations that the National Assembly, as well as the government, approved to pursue the Zionist entity and treat its leaders as war criminals. The Kuwait parliament remains and continues to support the just Palestinian cause with all of its available potential. In addition, the Canadian Ambassador to Kuwait Alia Mwani affirmed that it was an honor to participate in this exhibition, which tells about the history of Palestinian heritage and its importance. She highlighted that there was participation in many traditional crafts that represent the feelings of the people who made them. The ambassador said, “It is important to share with each other human heritage”, thanking the Palestinian ambassador and his wife for their invitation to attend such an exhibition.
