Al-Sudani posted on X, formerly called Twitter, saying: “Our heartfelt condolences go out to the brotherly State of Kuwait on the loss of His Highness the Emir Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah. May God grant His mercy upon him and patience and solace to his family, relatives, and the entire State of Kuwait.”

According to Kuwait’s official news agency, KUNA, he was admitted to the hospital in November as a result of an urgent medical issue.
