Malaysia Reaffirms Call For Comprehensive Palestinian Solution - PM Anwar

PUTRAJAYA, Dec 7 (Bernama) -- Malaysia has reaffirmed that a lasting solution to the Palestinian conflict must be comprehensive and grounded in universal justice, including recognition of Palestinian rights and an end to oppression and occupation by the Israeli regime.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said this during a telephone call yesterday with Qatar Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, who briefed him on recent developments in efforts to advance peace in West Asia.

He said the Qatar leader noted that while Islamic nations welcomed the peace initiative championed by United States President Donald Trump, doubts remain as Israel continues to violate it.

“We will continue to assert clearly and decisively that any solution must recognise the rights of the Palestinian people, including those in Gaza, and end the oppression, occupation and colonisation by the Israeli regime,” Anwar said in his closing remarks at the Rancakkan MADANI Bersama Malaysiaku programme here today.

The Prime Minister added that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi had contacted him to convey Egypt’s readiness to host a special conference on Gaza’s recovery and to invite Malaysia as a co-convener.

“We are cooperating and examining the modalities of the programme, as upholding universal justice is our responsibility,” he said.
