KUWAIT CITY, Dec 25, (KUNA): State of Kuwait Saturday welcomed UN Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 2334 which condemned Israeli settlement activities and demanded stop of construction on occupied Palestinian lands. This resolution is in harmony with UNSC’s “historic responsibilities” to preserve international peace and stability, a foreign ministry source, requesting anonymity, told KUNA in a statement.The source said the resolution affirmed the international community’s conviction in illegality of Jewish settlements over occupied Palestinian territories, which have devastating impacts on the peace process in the Middle East. The UNSC condemns as a “flagrant violation” Israel’s settlement construction on occupied Palestinian land. Fourteen of a total 15 Security Council member states voted in favor of the measure as the US abstained, thus allowing the resolution to pass.According to the resolution, there is “no legal validity” for Israeli settlements built on post- 1967 occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem. The foreign ministry source hoped the resolution paved way for resumption of peace process towards establishment of independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital in line with relevant UN resolutions and Arab peace initiative. Kuwait, he added, would support all efforts aimed at finding a just and comprehensive solution for the Palestinian cause to end the suffering of the Palestinian people.Meanwhile, the National Assembly is to hold a special solidarity session next Tuesday in support of innocent civilians of Aleppo, Syria, Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim affirmed Sunday. Tuesday’s regular session will start with discussing the agendas, and will be concluded by 2 pm, Al- Ghanim stated to reporters, adding that the solidarity session will begin afterwards to discuss the situations of stranded innocents and oppressed ones in Aleppo.An official statement by the Kuwaiti government is to be read out at the start of the special session, he said, adding that MPs will then be allowed to express their opinions within a timeframe determined by the Assembly. Replying to a question on the possibilities of turning the Aleppo session to a sectarian confrontation between MPs, Al-Ghanim expressed his hope that MPs focus on supporting the innocents and preserving the Kuwaiti national unity.
