Anwar calls on Trump, world leaders to act urgently to end Gaza oppression [WATCH]
"In this regard, I urge all those with influence over Israel to find the courage to act decisively.
"I especially appeal to US President Donald Trump to use his influence to press for an immediate end to the killings, stop the indiscriminate bombings, and ensure that humanitarian aid reaches those in need without obstruction.
"This is the hour for moral leadership. This is the time to uphold the values we claim to defend," he said in a clip posted on his Facebook page.
Anwar said the aggression against the Palestinians in Gaza reflected an appalling disregard for human life and dignity, and it must end, as it violates the most basic moral code.
"Malaysia calls on all world leaders to act with urgency.
"Every government that believes in international law, every nation that claims to value human life, must speak with one voice.
"Malaysia stands ready to work with all nations — North and South, East and West — to bring relief to Gaza and to restore the basic principles of humanity.
"Let us not be remembered as those who stood by. Let us be guided by our conscience, to answer suffering with compassion and to pursue peace for the sake of our humanity."

PM Anwar Welcomes Positive Signals From Bangkok, Phnom Penh To Consider Ceasefire
KUALA LUMPUR, July 24 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has welcomed the positive signals and willingness shown by Bangkok and Phnom Penh to consider a ceasefire to prevent further hostilities along the borders between the two countries. Anwar said he had spoken to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and acting Thai Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai Thursday evening to express Malaysia's concern over the escalation of tensions. 'In our conversations, in Malaysia's capacity as ASEAN Chair for 2025, I appealed directly to both leaders for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further hostilities and to create space for peaceful dialogue and diplomatic resolution. bootstrap slideshow 'I welcome the positive signals and willingness shown by both Bangkok and Phnom Penh to consider this path forward,' he said in a Facebook post. The prime minister said Malaysia stands ready to assist and facilitate this process in the spirit of ASEAN unity and shared responsibility. 'I firmly believe that ASEAN's strength lies in its solidarity and that peace must always be our collective and unwavering choice,' he said. Thai and Cambodian troops reportedly clashed early Thursday in a disputed area along their shared border, with both sides accusing each other of initiating the latest confrontation. Tensions between the two Southeast Asian neighbours have been rising since May 28, following a deadly border clash near the Preah Vihear area that left one Cambodian soldier dead. The two Southeast Asian neighbours have been disputing an 817-km undemarcated border for decades, which continues to sour diplomatic ties.
