Kuwait expresses its strong condemnation and denunciation of the Israeli occupation’s approval of a bill aimed at legalising settlement outposts and building new settlements in the occupied West Bank, the Foreign Ministry said on Monday.

The move is a “violation of the principles of international law and undermines all international efforts aimed at reaching a just and comprehensive solution that resumes the Middle East peace process on the basis of a two-state solution,” read a ministry statement.

The ministry reiterated Kuwait’s “principled and firm” stance against Israel’s ongoing “violations,” calling on the international community to take swift action to stop these actions and provide full protection for the Palestinian people and their property.

It also called on the international community to work to stop this unilateral decision in order to reach a final solution based on international legitimacy, the Arab Peace Initiative, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as a capital.
