Kuwaiti observer and political analyst Walid Al-Ahmad called on Arab countries that have diplomatic and economic relations with Tel Aviv to “take decisive and effective steps to pressure the Israeli occupation to stop the war on Gaza.”
Al-Ahmad stressed on the “Manchet Press” program, on Kuwait’s official state television, Sunday, the “necessity of considering options such as withdrawing ambassadors with Israel and threaten to stop trade and economic dealings with the Jewish entity.”
“These measures, if implemented effectively, would leave a painful impact on the Israeli economy, which may push it to reevaluate its policies and meet Arab demands,” he explained.
“Pressure should not be limited to Israel only, but also directed towards the United States of America, which is considered the main supporter of Israel,” he added.
“Strengthening economic and diplomatic relations with global powers such as Russia and China can be a powerful tool to send a clear message to Washington about the need to review its policies supporting Israel,” he pointed out.
Kuwait and “despite its small size, is a large country in its giving and positions,” adding it “was the first among the Gulf and Arab countries to strengthen its relations with China, which highlights its pioneering role in changing the balance of economic power,” the political analyst said.
“In light of the current situation, where the United States dominates most global agreements, tenders and treaties, Kuwait’s move towards China is a smart strategic move, and through this step, Kuwait has opened the way for other Gulf countries to consider cooperation with China, which enhances the diversity of strategic economic options in the region,” he explained.
The Israeli occupation army has been continuing its aggression on the Gaza Strip for 345 days, with American and European support. Its aircraft are bombing the vicinity of hospitals, buildings, towers, and homes of Palestinian civilians, destroying them over the heads of their residents, and preventing the entry of water, food, medicine, and fuel.
