Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Dr. Mohammed ‏Al-Sabah ‏on Wednesday was quoted as saying that Kuwait will be the last Arab country to normalize relations with Israel.‏ The Egyptian daily newspaper Al-Ahram added that Sheikh Mohammed said that Kuwait has recently received an invitation to open dialogue with Israel, even through a "third party," but it had refused it. 

‏  

The daily added Sheikh Mohammed expressed Kuwait's firm support to the Arab stands, and ‏that being a U.S. ally outside the NATO "does not open side doors.‏"
