He asserted importance of coordination with all international partners to highlight the cause of occupied Jerusalem. Al-Ghanim rejected all attempts to tarnish historic facts surrounding Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.
He said Kuwait has always been a staunch supporter of the Palestinian cause, foremost through its nonpermanent membership in the UN Security Council where Kuwait was acting upon instructions of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah AlAhmad AlJaber AlSabah, “the wise Arab leader,” to issue a resolution to providing protection for the Palestinian people.
All Israeli attempts to abort this resolution failed, he said, “triggering an American veto to topple this resolution.” This resolution was then tabled to the UN General Assembly and won the support of 122 countries.

He said Kuwait’s National Assembly was ready to carry out any role to address differences among the Palestinian people. AlGhanim called on AIPU to reject the normalization of relations with Israel.
