Malaysia strongly condemns Israeli aggression on Gaza

 Malaysia on Sunday condemned in the strongest terms the ongoing Israeli attack on Gaza which has so far claimed the lives of 32 Palestinians, predominantly civilians, and wounded more than 210 others.

Malaysian Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Abdullah called in a press release on the international community to urgently exert the utmost pressure on the Israeli occupation to ease immediately their violations and attack against the Palestinians.

“This latest atrocity by Israel was indeed a blatant disregard of the international law and the many principles of humanity,” stated Abdullah.

“The international community must censure Israel over its selfish provocative assaults and apartheid policy against the fundamental rights, lives, livelihood, and dignity of the Palestinians of all faiths in their own land. There should not be any double standards in addressing conflicts,” he added.

The Malaysian Foreign Minister asserted his country’s its unwavering support for and solidarity with the Palestinian people and their cause for achieving freedom from the Israeli occupation.
