CARIO, July 31: Kuwait remains committed to its "clear stance" on an economic boycott against Israel, a customs official said on Sunday, underlining a total ban on any product with even the remotest links to Israel. Any retailer found to be carrying goods with a connection to Israel will face "stiff penalties," Meshari Al-Jarallah, a legal researcher at Kuwait's customs department, told pan-Arab talks on the matter, emphasizing the need to "ratchet up" enforcement of an economic boycott on Israel. The talks in the Egyptian capital yielded plans to ban "certain companies" on suspicion of having links to Israel, added the Kuwaiti official. (KUNA)
