He added, “According to the Gulf agreement, any Gulf citizen has the right to enter Kuwait with the passport of his home, even if he has an entry and exit stamp for Israel.”
He pointed out that there are many Americans and Europeans who enter the country with passports that have previously entered Israel with these passports.
