Kuwait, in a Foreign Ministry statement, commended the recognition, saying it "will contribute to enhancing the chances of peace in the region and supporting international efforts aimed at a two-state solution."

The ministry stressed the need for all other countries to take a similar step to maintain security, stability, and prosperity for the region.
