Deputy PMs urge reflection and unity in Maal Hijrah messages
KUALA LUMPUR: The Islamic New Year of Maal Hijrah 1447 should serve as a renewed commitment to strengthening unity, cultivating compassion, and building a peaceful, progressive and resilient nation capable of facing any challenge, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

"God willing, may this new year bring abundant blessings, grace, and strength for us to move forward with confidence and trust in His plan," he said in a Facebook post today. Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said this year's Maal Hijrah theme, 'Membangun Ummah Madani' (Developing a Civilised Society), reflects the importance of upholding universal Islamic values for the greater and more inclusive benefit of society. He said the theme fosters the development of a progressive society that is mindful of humanitarian aspects, social justice, unity, economic growth, and siyasah (governance). "With the many crises and global challenges occurring today, we must also see this as a call to build a stronger Muslim society, one that is resilient and has a firm identity," he said.– BERNAMA

UNRWA Chief Warns Of 'Project To Separate Palestinians From Palestine' Amid Deepening Gaza Crisis
GENEVA, June 26 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- The head of the UN agency for Palestine refugees warned on Thursday that Palestinians are facing a deliberate effort to strip them of their homeland as humanitarian conditions deteriorate across Gaza and the region, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported. "We are witnessing the implementation of a project to separate Palestinians from Palestine," Philippe Lazzarini said in a post on X, following his remarks to the agency's Advisory Commission. "In Gaza, the culmination of 20+ months of inaction and impunity meant that desperate people are being starved, humiliated, and degraded. They are concentrated in ghetto-like hubs from which they are likely to be further displaced," he said. bootstrap slideshow Speaking to members of the commission on Wednesday, Lazzarini described the situation as "obscene," pointing to how food and medical supplies "sit across the border" while over two million people suffer. "A so-called 'aid mechanism' has been created to replace the principled international aid operation led by the United Nations, of which UNRWA is a critical part," he said. "The new mechanism is an abomination that costs lives," he added, referring to the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which is run by Israel and where a series of deadly incidents took place. He noted that nearly 320 UNRWA personnel have been killed in Gaza since the conflict escalated, and one staff member was "summarily executed while on duty for the United Nations and found near the infamous mass grave of Palestinian paramedics." In the occupied West Bank, Lazzarini said, "annexation is well under way," citing severe movement restrictions, settler violence, and the recent closure of UNRWA schools in East Jerusalem that left nearly 550 students without alternatives. "Denying children an education is not only inhumane, it is illegal," he stated. Lazzarini warned: "We are at a tipping point threatening to permanently shift long-established parameters for peace," and that the attacks on UNRWA are part of a broader objective "to undermine the viability of a Palestinian State and to strip Palestinians of their refugee status."
