MALAYSIA CONDEMNS ISRAEL’S ESCALATING AGGRESSION IN GAZA AND THE REGION
MALAYSIA CONDEMNS ISRAEL’S ESCALATING AGGRESSION IN GAZA AND
THE REGION
Malaysia unequivocally condemns Israel’s declared plan to establish a “sustained presence” in Gaza and forcibly displace over two million Palestinians. The imposition of military control over humanitarian aid and the systematic displacement of civilians constitute flagrant breaches of international law and exemplify Israel’s persistent defiance of international law.
The forced removal of populations and deliberate use of starvation as a weapon are war crimes. Malaysia rejects any pretext for expelling Palestinians from Gaza. These acts amount to ethnic cleansing.
Israel’s aggression now extends beyond Palestine. Airstrikes on Yemen’s Hodeidah port, Sanaa International Airport, and other sites across the region highlight a pattern of reckless escalation that endangers all civilian lives and threatens regional stability. Such actions reinforce Israel’s status as a serial violator of international law — Israel’s impunity must stop and all perpetrators be brought to justice.
Malaysia urges the international community through the United Nations to immediately take action.
Malaysia reiterates its unwavering support for the Palestinian people’s inalienable right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent, sovereign State of Palestine, based on pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital. The blockade of Gaza and the targeting of civilians must end without delay.
