Kuwait Position Towards Zionist Regime ‘Unchanged’
KUWIT CITY (Dispatches) – Kuwait’s position towards the Zionist regime is unchanged after its accord with the United Arab Emirates and it will be the last country to normalize relations, newspaper al-Qabas reported on Sunday citing Kuwaiti government sources.
The Zionist regime and the UAE announced an agreement on Thursday that will lead to a full normalization of diplomatic relations between the two, making the UAE the third Arab state to do so, after Egypt and Jordan.
"The Kuwaiti position is consistent with its decades-old foreign policy approach in support of the Palestinian cause, as it is the prime Arab issue, and only accepting a solution if it is what the Palestinians accept,” al-Qabas said.
Palestinians denounced the Zionist-UAE deal, while Saudi Arabia and Qatar have remained silent. Fellow Persian Gulf nations Oman and Bahrain praised the deal.
Director of the occupying regime’s spy agency Mossad, Yossi Cohen, held a telephone conversation with Bahraini Prime Minister Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifah, triggering speculation that Manama will be the next to normalize relations with the regime after Abu Dhabi.
Israel’s Channel 12 news reported on Saturday that the phone call took place in recent days, without elaborating on its details.
The news of the telephone conversation between Cohen and the Bahraini premier was cleared for publication by the regime’s military censor.
The report cited unspecified "signs” that Bahrain was seeking to be next in line after the UAE to establish full diplomatic ties with the regime and that a declaration to this effect was expected soon.
It further highlighted a report by Bahrain’s official news agency that the Bahraini prime minister had left the Persian Gulf country for a "private visit” abroad, speculating that this could be linked to the normalization bid.
Morocco is also reportedly seen as a likely candidate to establish formal diplomatic contacts with the Zionist regime as it already has tourism and trade ties with the regime.
In exchange, the report noted, Rabat was seeking American recognition of its sovereignty over the disputed Western Sahara territory.
A report in February by Israeli Channel 13 news said prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu tried to arrange a three-way agreement between the Zionist regime, Rabat and Washington, but the administration of U.S. President Donald had yet to clear it.
Morocco occupied large swathes of the Western Sahara in 1975 as Spain withdrew from the area and later annexed the territories in a move not recognized internationally.
