MALAYSIA WELCOMES THE RESOLUTION “SCALING UP AND MONITORING AID
TO GAZA” AT THE UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL
Malaysia welcomes the adoption of the United Nations Security Council Resolution entitled “Scaling Up and Monitoring Aid to Gaza” on 22 December 2023 (New York time).
The Security Council, in its resolution, calls for urgent steps to immediately allow safe, unhindered, and expanded humanitarian access and to create the conditions for a sustainable cessation of hostilities. It also calls for all parties to adhere to international humanitarian law and in this regard deplores all attacks against civilians and civilians’ objects, as well as all violence and hostilities against civilians, and all acts of terrorism.
The resolution also demands the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, as well as ensuring humanitarian access to address the medical needs of all hostages. The United Nations Secretary-General is also requested to report on the implementation of this resolution in the regular reporting to the Council.
Malaysia urges all parties to comply with and implement the decisions of the Security Council resolutions and all of its relevant resolutions on the Occupied Palestinian Territories in accordance with the principles of the UN Charter. Malaysia repeats its demand for an urgent ceasefire to allow safe and unhindered humanitarian assistance.
The barbaric and heinous atrocities against Palestinians are unjustifiable and must end immediately. The relentless crimes committed by the apartheid Israeli regime must not continue with impunity.
Malaysia reiterates its call for a durable solution by granting the Palestinians their own independent and sovereign State, based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
