NEW YORK, Dec 4 (KUNA) -- Kuwait called on UN member-states to support Palestine's request to receive a full membership in the UN.
The remarks were made by Kuwait's diplomatic attache Abdulaziz Al-Saeedi, during the meeting of the UN General Assembly in New York, late Tuesday.
He noted that in 1947, the General Assembly took the responsibility to reach a just solution for the Palestinian cause, approving resolution number 181 on establishing two independent states.
Al-Saeedi said that it is the task of the UN member-states, who recognized Palestine as an independent state, to call on other members who refrained from recognizing the country to do so.
The Israeli occupation is executing a genocide against Palestinians and denying them their basic rights, he added.
He expressed Kuwait's strong condemnation of the occupation's expansion in building illegal settlements, noting that it is a violation of the international law.
Meanwhile, he expressed Kuwait's strong condemnation of the Israeli occupation attacks on Lebanon, that killed hundreds of innocent civilians.
He called on the UN Security Council to implement its Gaza ceasefire resolution, which includes the withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces and the entry of humanitarian aid to the strip.
He underlined the efforts of the region's countries, including Kuwait, to achieve peace in Palestine and the region, through launching a number of initiatives, including that of Bahrain to hold an international conference for peace in the Middle East.
Al-Saeedi also mentioned Saudi Arabia's effortst to launch the international alliance to implement the two-state solution last Septmeber, in cooperation with Norway and the European Union (EU).
The Kuwaiti diplomat also underlined the mediation of Qatar, Egypt and the US for ceasefire and delivery of humanitarian aid in Gaza. (end) ast.ag
