His remarks came during a recent meeting with Palestinian Authority (PA) Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh, who visited Kuwait to offer condolences on the death of the late Emir Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah.

Sheikh Nawaf said that he would follow the footsteps of his predecessor and offer solid support to Palestine and its people.

Meanwhile, Press TV reported that Sheikh Nawaf spoke to the head of the Hamas Political Bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, on Thursday and stressed that Kuwait will not alter its policies toward Palestinians and will remain committed to their cause.

Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah died last Tuesday in a hospital in the US.
