KUWAIT: Kuwait's
National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanem has labeled Israel's raids on
Al-Aqsa Mosque "brutal," saying the latest assault once again
demonstrates that the "occupational entity's calls for peace are
false." Several Palestinian worshippers were injured on Sunday after being
attacked by Israeli police, who were guarding 450 Israeli settlers as they
reportedly broke into the mosque on the first day of the Islamic Eid Al-Adha
holiday.

"It is
utterly woeful and shameful to leave Jerusalemites facing their enemy alone,
without any support or backing," the chief lawmaker said in a statement.
He urged the need for comprehensive Arab, Islamic and global action across
political, human rights and cultural forums worldwide to put pressure on an
"occupational entity that knows only the logic of oppression and
power." "If our military conditions are unfavorable, this does not
prevent daily action on the political, cultural and human rights spectrums,"
he added. - KUNA
