The State of Kuwait welcomed on Tuesday the UN Security Council resolution calling for a comprehensive ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation forces from the Strip.

The Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) quoted a statement by the Foreign Ministry as saying that Kuwait also commended the resolution, which called for the return of the forcibly displaced Palestinians and securing the return of humanitarian relief aid into the Gaza Strip.

The statement affirmed that adopting this resolution was a crucial and pivotal step towards ending the Israeli systematic aggression on the Gaza Strip and Palestinian civilians, adding that the international community must take responsibility to ensure the implementation of the decision.
