The Malaysian Prime Minister says he is determined for justice for the Palestinians

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on Tuesday called on Arab and Muslim countries to remain “consistent and steadfast” in demanding justice for the Palestinian people.

Stressing the need to bring Israel to justice for all crimes and atrocities committed against Palestine, Anwar said: “All parties must also raise objections to Israel’s illegal invasion and occupation of Palestinian lands, which is the main cause of this long-term conflict. ”

Anwar’s statement came after he met Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on the sidelines of a World Economic Forum meeting in Riyadh.

Israel has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since an Oct. 7 cross-border raid by Hamas that claimed 1,200 lives and took about 250 hostages.

More than six months after the start of Israel’s war, large parts of Gaza lay in ruins, and 85% of the enclave’s population has been forced into internal displacement amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine. – Pakistan denounces use of ‘fake news’

Pakistan denounced the use of fake news and disinformation regarding the war in Gaza.

“We are witnessing this (disinformation) today in the Gaza war and have consistently witnessed it in the case of occupied Jammu and Kashmir,” said Munir Akram, Pakistan’s representative to the UN.

“At the heart of information manipulation, internet disruptions, censorship and the use of special media laws by the occupation authorities is a sinister design to delegitimize the freedom struggle and perpetuate a climate of fear, intimidation and violence,” Akram said in a speech to the 46th Chamber.

He said states, which resort to fake news and disinformation in “situations of foreign occupation,” aim to “suppress the voices of people who are denied their fundamental freedoms.” including the right to self-determination,” said a statement from the Pakistani diplomatic mission. Pointing to the current global landscape marked by growing geopolitical tensions and conflicts, including the war in Gaza and the protracted conflict in Ukraine, Akram emphasized “the dissemination of accurate information was critical to empowering nations and achieving peace and promote prosperity objectives.”
