Malaysia has condemned in the strongest terms the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza which has so far claimed the lives of 32 Palestinians, predominantly civilians, and injured more than 210 others.

In a statement, Malaysian Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Abdullah called on the international community to urgently exert the utmost pressures on the Israeli occupation to cease immediately their violations and aggression against the Palestinians.

“This latest atrocity by Israel was indeed a blatant disregard of the international law and the many principles of humanity,” said Abdullah.

“The international community must censure Israel over its selfish provocative assaults and apartheid policy against the fundamental rights, lives, livelihood and dignity of the Palestinians of all faiths in their own land. There should not be any double standards in addressing conflicts,” he said.

The Malaysian Foreign Minister reaffirmed his country’s its unwavering support for and solidarity with the Palestinian people and their cause for achieving freedom from the Israeli occupation.
