Israel's war on Gaza violates international law: Kuwait

KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait

The current Israeli war on the Gaza Strip violates international law, said Kuwait’s crown prince on Tuesday.

Speaking to Kuwait’s parliament, Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah said the Israeli bombardment of Gaza “violates all humanitarian laws and international conventions.”

“It’s paramount for the world to look into how to implement an immediate cease-fire and increase relief aid to the Gaza Strip,” said Al-Sabah, the heir apparent to Kuwait’s throne.

Since last weekend, the Israeli army has widened its air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip, which has been under relentless airstrikes since the surprise offensive by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7.

More than 10,000 people have been killed in the Gaza conflict, including 8,525 Palestinians and more than 1,538 Israelis.
