Malaysia Condemns Israeli Killing of Palestinians, Calls for End to Genocide in Gaza
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim of Malaysia strongly condemned the ongoing Israeli killing of Palestinian women and children in Gaza, labeling it "sheer hypocrisy" for Western countries, including the United States, to deny these acts.
Anwar expressed concern that failure to prevent genocide in Gaza could lead to extremism and urged an end to the violence.
Malaysia has issued statements calling for an end to the genocide and believes that such inhuman acts against civilians are unjustifiable, regardless of political positions.
The speaker strongly condemns the continued killings of women and children in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.
They express concern as an emerging country and believe it's necessary to express this concern in the strongest terms possible.
The speaker acknowledges the efforts of Arab neighbors and other countries to help resolve the issue.
They fear the situation may prolong and lead to extremist or terrorist actions if not addressed by the international community.
Recent reports suggest the International Criminal Court prosecutor may soon issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on charges of deliberately starving Palestinians in Gaza.
Anwar, a Malaysian politician, has expressed support for arrest warrants for Israeli ministers if the International Criminal Court (ICC) rules that genocide is occurring in Gaza.
He believes the evidence presented supports this allegation.
In Kuala Lumpur, an Israeli national was arrested on suspicion of assassination and found with weapons and ammunition.
Anwar acknowledged ongoing investigations to determine if the man was involved in espionage or organized crime.
A high-ranking Malaysian official expressed concern over a criminal case involving potential spy activities within the country, but stopped short of confirming the individual's identity or motives.
He emphasized the seriousness of the situation due to the suspicious movements, large quantities of weapons, and networking within the country.
Regarding the prospects of an independent Palestinian state, Anwar stated that the global community's support for Palestinian statehood is overwhelming, with 139 countries recognizing it.
He criticized any country, including the US, for denying this right and disregarding the international community's decisions on the matter.
The text expresses the viewpoint of 139 individuals who believe that Palestine's existence as a state should be recognized.
They argue that denying the sentiments and aspirations of the world is not a rightful action for any country.
