BERLIN (Reuters) - A German court said on Tuesday that Kuwait's boycott of Israel was "unacceptable and irrelevant in Germany" but that Kuwait Airways could not be forced to transport Israeli citizens to the Gulf state, backing a controversial lower-court decision.

A Frankfurt state court ruled in November that the airline had the right to refuse to carry an Israeli passenger due to his nationality, triggering sharp criticism from German officials and Jewish groups.
