Malaysia has issued a strong call to the international community, urging it to unite and take decisive action to hold Israel accountable for its alleged crimes against the Palestinian people. In a statement released on Tuesday, the Malaysian Foreign Ministry marked the one-year anniversary of what it described as “Israeli atrocities” and emphasized the need for immediate intervention.
“The time to act has come,” the Foreign Ministry declared, stressing that the ongoing violence and suffering of Palestinians cannot be ignored. Malaysia reaffirmed its unwavering support for the Palestinian struggle to establish an independent and sovereign state, based on pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The ministry also highlighted Malaysia’s commitment to working with like-minded countries to push for Palestine’s full membership in the United Nations. This move, according to the statement, would bring the Palestinian issue to the forefront of global diplomacy and provide international legitimacy to their claims of statehood.
Malaysia’s statement underscored the escalating violence over the past year, accusing the Israeli regime of killing an average of 115 Palestinians each day and injuring 274 more, many of whom are elderly, women, and children. The Malaysian government condemned these actions, calling them violations of international law and human rights.
The Foreign Ministry emphasized the need for the international community to enforce accountability for these alleged crimes, urging global powers to adopt firm measures to stop the violence and ensure the protection of Palestinian civilians. “Malaysia will continue to advocate for justice and peace in Palestine,” the statement added, noting that the country would remain committed to supporting efforts for a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
This renewed call for action comes amid growing concerns over the humanitarian crisis in the region, as well as ongoing tensions between Israel and Palestine. Malaysia, a vocal supporter of the Palestinian cause, has consistently condemned Israel’s policies and actions, calling for a united global response to address the conflict and promote peace in the Middle East.
As the situation continues to deteriorate, Malaysia’s appeal for global action reflects a broader demand for concrete steps to be taken in holding Israel accountable, while ensuring the rights and dignity of the Palestinian people are upheld.
