Palestinian Foreign Ministry strongly denounces mass killings at aid centres in Gaza

The Sun6 days ago
RAMALLAH: The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday strongly denounced what it described as 'mass killings' carried out by Israeli forces at humanitarian aid distribution centres across the Gaza Strip - the latest of which killed and wounded dozens in northern Rafah.
Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA) reported that the ministry called the attack a 'heinous crime' and part of a broader pattern of deliberate killing targeting over two million civilians in Gaza through bombardment, starvation, dehydration, and lack of medical care - all aimed, it said, at forcibly displacing the population.
The ministry said it continues to engage diplomatically with states and international bodies to put an end to these crimes, stressing that the failure of the international community to act constitutes complicity.
It urged a moral and legal awakening to enforce an immediate halt to what it described as genocide, forced displacement, and annexation. - BERNAMA-WAFA

Malaysia Strongly Condemns Israel's Motion To Annex The West Bank

A Wisma Putra logo is seen in this picture. PUTRAJAYA, July 25 (Bernama) -- Malaysia unreservedly condemns a recent motion by the Israeli Knesset to annex the occupied West Bank, describing it as a provocative act and an outright disregard for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. The Malaysian Foreign Ministry said the Zionist regime's decision on July 23 constitutes a blatant violation of international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention. 'It further violates several United Nations (UN) Security Council resolutions, namely Resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), and 2334 (2016), that invalidate any attempt to legitimise the regime's illegal occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). bootstrap slideshow 'This decision is another provocation and clear manifestation of the regime's blatant disregard for the Palestinian legitimate rights to self-determination, rights to return, and rights to resist occupation as enshrined in the UN Charter,' it said in a statement Friday. The regime's continuous aggression is emboldened by decades of impunity and lack of accountability for its actions in the OPT, it added. Malaysia called on the international community and the UN to reject the motion unequivocally and to take concrete steps to halt Israel's systematic violation of international law, the statement said. If allowed to manifest, the international community would be equally complicit in the gravest of war crimes of this century committed by the Israeli Zionist regime against the Palestinian people, the statement further said. The ministry reaffirmed Malaysia's unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people and their inalienable right to self-determination, supporting the establishment of an independent and sovereign State of Palestine, based on pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, and its rightful membership in the UN. Members of the Israeli Knesset on Wednesday voted 71-13 in favour of "annexing" the Palestinian territory, according to international media.

Malaysia condemns Israel's West Bank annexation motion

PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia has issued a firm condemnation of Israel's recent motion to annex the occupied West Bank, denouncing it as a provocative act that disregards Palestinian rights. The Foreign Ministry stated that the decision by the Israeli Knesset on July 23 breaches international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention. The ministry highlighted that the motion violates key United Nations Security Council resolutions, including Resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), and 2334 (2016), which reject any attempts to legitimise Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. 'This decision is another provocation and clear manifestation of the regime's blatant disregard for Palestinian rights to self-determination, return, and resistance against occupation as guaranteed by the UN Charter,' the statement read. Malaysia accused Israel of acting with impunity due to decades of unchecked aggression in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). The ministry urged the international community and the UN to take decisive action against Israel's systematic violations of international law. 'If this motion proceeds, the world will be complicit in one of the gravest war crimes of this century,' the statement warned. Reaffirming its support for Palestine, Malaysia called for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and full UN membership. The Israeli Knesset passed the motion with a 71-13 vote on Wednesday, according to international reports. - Bernama

Iran agrees to restart nuclear talks with UN watchdog, says IAEA chief

SINGAPORE: Iran has indicated that it will be ready to restart technical-level discussions on its nuclear programme with the United Nations nuclear watchdog, IAEA head Rafael Grossi said on Friday. The International Atomic Energy Agency has said it must be allowed to resume inspections after Israeli and U.S. airstrikes last month that aimed to destroy Iran's nuclear programme and deny it the capacity to build a nuclear weapon. Rafael Grossi said in Singapore that Iran must be transparent about its facilities and activities. He told reporters alongside a public lecture that the IAEA had proposed that Iran start discussions on 'the modalities as to how to restart or begin (inspections) again'. 'So this is what we are planning to do, perhaps starting on technical details and, later on, moving on to high level consultations. So this will not include inspections yet.' On Wednesday, Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said Iran had agreed to allow a technical team from the IAEA to visit in the coming weeks, but not to go to the nuclear sites. Tehran, which denies seeking to build a nuclear weapon, has said access to the bombed sites poses security and safety risks. Grossi said he had no further information from Iran on the status and whereabouts of its stock of some 400 kg of highly enriched uranium. 'This is why it is so important that we engage as soon as possible and that we can start our inspection,' he said. - Reuters
