Saudi Arabia and Kuwait officially ban all Israeli passport holders, warning of immediate arrest for violators

“Banning Israelis from entering Kuwait is based on laws enacted since the country’s independence in 1961, specifically Law No. 21 of 1964 on boycotting the Israeli entity. Kuwait’s declaration in 1988 of its recognition of the State of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital reflects its firm support for the Palestinians and its position rejecting the occupation.” — Waleed Al-Ahmad, Kuwaiti journalist Source: https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250815-kuwait-decision-to-ban-entry-of-israelis-receives-wide-public-praise/
