Kuwaiti state television announced that Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmed al-Jaber al-Sabah, who was hospitalized in November due to health problems, passed away. “We mourn the death of the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmed al-Jaber al-Sabah, with great sadness and grief,” said the channel.
The 86-year-old Emir of Kuwait took the oath of office in September 2020 after his half-brother Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmed al-Jabar al-Sabah had died in the USA at the age of 91.
