Iran Press/ Middle East: "Kuwait strongly condemns and denounces Israel's continued construction of settlements, and its displacement and evacuation operations in East part of al-Quds, particularly in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood,” Kuwait’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
According to Anadolu news agency, Palestinians in al-Quds have protested in solidarity with the residents of Sheikh Jarrah in recent days that have led to clashes with Israeli police.
Protests came as the Israeli Central Court approved a decision to evict seven Palestinian families from their homes in favor of Israeli settlers at the beginning of 2021.
Kuwait decried the settlements as violating principles of international law, undermining peace efforts and threatening stability in the region.
The statement urged the international community to “redouble its efforts to compel Israel to stop such unilateral decisions, and to create the atmosphere for the resumption of peace talks based on international legitimacy decisions, the Arab Peace Initiative and the two-state solution.”
In recent years, Palestinians have evacuated three homes in the neighborhood after Israeli court decisions. 219
