In response to Israeli attacks on the Palestinian territories, Malaysia’s prime minister said his country does not recognize Israel and will continue to support Palestine.

Anwar Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia, made the remarks on Sunday, November 17, during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in the Peruvian capital.

He said: “The Malaysian government will reject any proposal to establish ties or normalize relations with Israel. Our position against Israel and in favor of the Palestinian people is rooted in justice. »

He stressed: “We will never recognize Israel and will remain determined to support the struggle of the Palestinian people in international forums. »

Anwar Ibrahim added: “Malaysia was the only country at the APEC summit to raise questions about Israel’s increasing violence against the Palestinians. How can we talk about free trade and the economy when the rights of a nation are violated? It’s a question of justice. Malaysia will continue to support the Palestinian people wherever necessary. »

Meanwhile, Israeli attacks on the Palestinian territories persist. The Gaza Civil Defense Authority reported yesterday that dozens of people, mainly in the northern part of Gaza, were killed in recent Israeli strikes.

The United Nations and other organizations have sharply criticized the dire humanitarian situation in the region.

Malaysia’s steadfast stance on Palestine reflects its commitment to justice and human rights on the global stage. As violence escalates in Gaza, Malaysia’s call for action highlights the urgent need for the international community to respond to the humanitarian crisis and seek lasting peace.

The continued aggression in the Palestinian territories not only exacerbates regional instability, but also highlights the importance for countries like Malaysia to advocate for accountability and justice. A collective effort is essential to remedy the plight of the Palestinian people and guarantee respect for their rights.
