KUWAIT, Mar 17 2003 (IPS)

Speaker of the Kuwaiti National Assembly Jassem al-Kharafi vehemently denied his country was committing itself to the funding of a potential war against Iraq or of any other war expenses.

The Kuwaiti News Agency (KUNA) quoted al-Kharafi as telling the Saudi – Al-Yawm" newspaper today that Kuwait has committed itself only to the expenses of the "security agreements" signed upon the "Kuwait liberation war," and not to any other expenses beyond that.

He expressed optimism about the possibility of reaching a fair settlement to the Middle East conflict that would ensure the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, once the Iraqi crisis is over.
