Kuwait has warned the United Nations Security Council of Israel's attempts to change the historical and legal status quo at Jerusalem’s holy Al-Aqsa Mosque, condemning the Israeli incursion into the besieged Gaza Strip.
This came in a statement delivered by the Permanent Representative of Kuwait to the United Nations, Ambassador Mansour al-Otaibi, during the meeting on the Palestinian issue held on Monday at the United Nations permanent headquarters in New York.
