KUWAIT ENDS BOYCOTT OF ISRAEL
Kuwait said yesterday it has ended its participation in the Arab boycott that blacklisted foreign firms dealing with Israel.
But its foreign minister, Sheik Sabah al-Ahmed, told the Kuwait News Agency his country would still cooperate with another boycott against direct business dealings with the Jewish state.
"Kuwait and other Arab states have broken off from the indirect boycott for considerations of national interest," the minister was quoted as saying.
