KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 — Malaysia and Palestine have agreed on the need for comprehensive efforts to end violence in Gaza.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said this was reached during his telephone conversation with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to discuss the latest developments in Gaza.
“We also hope that all parties can ensure the humanitarian aid is channelled to the Palestinian people immediately,” he said in an X post.
Abbas also informed Anwar about the attacks by the Zionist regime on civilians, and both strongly condemned such actions.
Anwar is currently in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to attend the inaugural Asean-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Summit.
Malaysia is the Asean coordinator for the summit, aiming to optimise cooperation between the two regional organisations.
It is expected to deliberate on the Israel-Palestine conflict and find ways to end the suffering of the people of Gaza following the latest Zionist military action.
