The Chairman of the Kuwait Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Muhammad Jassim Al-Saqer, affirmed that "the Palestinian issue and Jerusalem are an issue of belief and belonging to Kuwait as a people, governance, and government, and a humanitarian, moral, and national issue as much as it is a Palestinian and Arab issue."
Al-Sager's words came when he received a delegation from the Jerusalem Endowment Fund headed by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees Prince Turki Al-Faisal bin Abdulaziz, and the Chairman of the Fund's Board of Directors, Munib Al-Masry.
Al-Sager stressed that “despite the numerous and severe calamities that have passed on the Arab world in the past two decades, the Palestine issue will remain the mother Arab cause, because it is still the main engine behind most of the region's events, and because it is still in one way or another influential in all Arab countries politically, economically, and socially.” Al-Sager noted that “As the president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, I feel very proud that this Chamber, with all it represents and whom it represents, has always been at the forefront of those supporting Jerusalem and its people, Palestine, and its people financially, in research and in the media, and perhaps it is the only chamber that issued a financial stamp on its transactions, the proceeds of which were allocated to Palestine. It also cooperated repeatedly with the Kuwait Red Crescent Society to provide humanitarian and educational assistance, as the latest example of this cooperation was to contribute to the reconstruction of Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood after it was subjected to aggression last year.”
