Malaysia condemns calls for the forced displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip

Kuala Lumpur, Sept 10 (KUNA) -- Malaysia strongly condemned recent calls by officials of the Israeli occupation forces to forcibly displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, and denounced the ongoing violence committed by settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement, rejected any attempt to forcibly displace Palestinians from their homeland or to alter the demographic or geographical character of the occupied Palestinian territory. It called on the international community, particularly the United Nations Security Council, to take concrete measures to end these violations, ensure accountability, and protect the Palestinian people. Malaysia reaffirmed its support for the establishment of an independent, sovereign State of Palestine on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. It also highlighted Malaysia’s recent condemnations of the continued confiscation of Palestinian land, the expansion of illegal settlements, and other violations across the occupied Palestinian territory.
