MALAYSIA STRONGLY CONDEMNS THE STORMING OF THE AL AQSA MOSQUE
AND THE ASSAULT AGAINST WORSHIPPERS BY ISRAELI EXTREMISTS
Malaysia condemns in the strongest terms the storming of the Al Aqsa Mosque by Israeli extremists on 17 September 2023. The assault against worshippers is a deliberate act of provocation and flagrant violation of the sanctity of the holy sites which clearly aims to challenge the historical and legal status of Jerusalem and Al-Haram Al-Sharif.
Malaysia calls on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to fulfill its mandated responsibility of holding the Israeli regime responsible for the continued acts of aggression against humanity and blatantly disregard countless principles of international laws. All acts of provocation and violence must be halted immediately in the interest of peace and security. There should be no disproportionate treatment in dealing with the conflict.
Malaysia also calls on the international community to stop turning a blind eye to the regime that clearly practices Apartheid policy. The international community cannot continue to disregard Israel’s continuous assaults and apartheid policy against the fundamental rights, lives, livelihood, and dignity of the Palestinians of all faiths in their own land.
Malaysia continues to stand firm by our principled position that the Palestinians deserve their own independent and sovereign state, based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
