GCC slams Israeli blockade on Gaza as war crime ahead of Asean summit
KUALA LUMPUR, May 24 -- Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Assistant Secretary General for Political and Negotiations, Dr. Abdel Aziz Abu Hamad Aluwaisheg, speaks to Bernama in an exclusive interview on the sidelines of the 46th ASEAN Summit at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC). --fotoBERNAMA (2025) COPYRIGHT RESERVED KUALA LUMPUR: The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has lambasted the ongoing Israeli blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza, describing the actions of the Zionist regime as a "war crime". GCC assistant secretary-general for political and negotiation affairs, Dr Abdel Aziz Abu Hamad Aluwaisheg, said Israeli forces have used the blockade to influence political outcomes and that it has been a major cause of starvation and famine among the Gazan population. "They (Israel) try to ethnically cleanse Gaza; this is a war crime," he told Bernama in an exclusive interview here Saturday (May 24) ahead of the 46th Asean Summit. Abdel Aziz urged the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to issue an immediate injunction compelling Israel to lift the blockade, criticising Tel Aviv for its failure to comply with ICJ and United Nations directives. Speaking on the consensus between GCC and Asean about the situation in Gaza, Abdel Aziz said during the first GCC-Asean meeting in Riyadh, both parties had a full agreement on four key points. "First, the need for an immediate and sustainable ceasefire. Second, the importance of delivering aid, all kinds of aid, to the besieged population in Gaza. Third, the need to allow the UN and UN relief agencies to do their job in Gaza, not block them from entering Gaza. "And finally, the fact that in 2023, we have recognised the role Saudi Arabia was playing in trying to address the underlying issue of Israel-Palestine through the two-state solution," he remarked. He said that the GCC also recognises the role other GCC countries have played in the negotiations to bring about a ceasefire and exchange of hostages. "This is a combined role that the state of Qatar, Egypt, and the United States are working on. So, this is what we agreed to in 2023," he said. Abdel Aziz also expressed hope that the Asean-GCC Summit in Kuala Lumpur will reach a similar consensus to what both parties had agreed two years ago in Riyadh. Malaysia is hosting the 46th Asean Summit at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from May 26 to 27 as part of its 2025 Asean chairmanship under the theme "Inclusivity and Sustainability". In conjunction with the summit, two key high-level meetings, namely the 2nd Asean-GCC Summit and the Asean-GCC-China Summit, will also take place, marking an important platform for expanded regional and inter-regional cooperation. - Bernama

GCC Slams Israeli Blockade On Gaza As War Crime Ahead Of ASEAN Summit
Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Assistant Secretary General for Political and Negotiations, Dr. Abdel Aziz Abu Hamad Aluwaisheg, speaks to Bernama in an exclusive interview on the sidelines of the 46th ASEAN Summit at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC). By Noor Azuki Fahme Ismail KUALA LUMPUR, May 24 (Bernama) -- The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has lambasted the ongoing Israeli blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza, describing the actions of the Zionist regime as a 'war crime'. GCC Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs and Negotiations, Dr Abdel Aziz Abu Hamad Aluwaisheq, said Israeli forces have used the blockade to influence the political outcomes and that it has been a major cause of starvation and famine among the Gazan population. 'They (Israel) try to ethnically cleanse Gaza; this is a war crime,' he told Bernama in an exclusive interview here today ahead of the 46th ASEAN Summit. Abdel Aziz urged the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to issue an immediate injunction compelling Israel to lift the blockade, criticising Tel Aviv for its failure to comply with the ICJ and United Nations directives. In a recent statement, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that more than 2.1 million people in Gaza are trapped, starved, and under bombardment, while essential supplies, including food, medicine, fuel, and life-saving equipment, remain stranded at crossing points due to the Israeli blockade. The organisation added that the situation unfolding in Gaza reflects 'an utter disregard for human life.' Speaking on the consensus between GCC and ASEAN about the situation in Gaza, Abdel Aziz said during the first GCC-ASEAN meeting in Riyadh, both parties had a full agreement on four key points. 'First, the need for an immediate and sustainable ceasefire. Second, the importance of delivering aid, all kinds of aid, to the besieged population in Gaza. Third, the need to allow the UN and UN relief agencies to do their job in Gaza, not block them from entering Gaza.

Stronger GCC-Asean ties needed for safe, stable region
SEPANG: Greater cooperation between the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Asean is needed to improve security and to keep the region safe and stable, says Dr Abdel Aziz Abu Hamad Aluwaisheg. The GCC assistant secretary-general for political and negotiation affairs said security is one of the main goals behind the council's establishment, apart from being a political grouping and economic bloc. 'Security for us is very important. We live, unfortunately, in a very dangerous neighbourhood, but we have maintained stability and security in our region. 'We also try to help our neighbours do the same,' he said, Bernama reported. Abdel Aziz said the GCC also believes it shares common values with Asean, especially in staying neutral in world politics. 'What we share with Asean is that we have chosen to be independent and neutral in conflicts.' The GCC brings together the six states of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as an economic and political grouping in the Arabian Gulf established through a charter signed in Abu Dhabi on May 25, 1981. On the GCC's key expectation from this Asean Summit under Malaysia's chairmanship, Abdel Aziz said the event is highly anticipated where both regional groups aim to take their cooperation to the next level. He added that over the past two years, the council has established a solid framework for cooperation with Asean, namely in political dialogue, security and trade. 'Under economy, we are already exploring the establishment of a free trade area between Asean and the GCC. 'We are optimistic that this summit will push our cooperation further and faster,' he added.

GCC seeks stronger ties with Asean on security, trade
SEPANG: The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is ready to work more closely with Asean to improve security and to keep the region safe and stable. GCC assistant secretary general for political and negotiations Dr Abdel Aziz Abu Hamad Aluwaisheg said the council was established 43 years ago with security as one of its main goals, apart from being a political grouping and economic bloc. "Security for us is very important. We live, unfortunately, in a very dangerous neighbourhood but we have maintained stability and security in our region. We also try to help our neighbours do the same," he told Bernama upon arriving at Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 1, here on Friday (May 23) ahead of the 46th Asean Summit. Abdel Aziz said the GCC also believes it shares common values with Asean, especially in staying neutral in world politics. "What we share with Asean on security is that there is a pole to side with one pole or another, in big world conflicts involving the United States, Europe and China, and we have chosen all of us to be independent and neutral. "We have maintained excellent relationships with all of them, between India and Pakistan, between the United Statesand Russia. I think we should continue to be that way," Abdel Aziz remarked. The GCC brings together the six states of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates as an economic and political grouping in the Arabian Gulf established through a charter signed in Abu Dhabi on May 25, 1981. Asked on GCC's key expectation from this Asean Summit, the Saudi Arabian diplomat said the forthcoming event is highly anticipated where both regional groups aim to take their cooperation to the next level. He added that over the past two years, the GCC has established a solid framework for cooperation with Asean, namely in political dialogue, security and trade. "In the economic level, we are already exploring to establish a free trade area between Asean and the GCC. At the same time, we are considering establishing trade ties between Malaysia and the GCC as a group. We are optimistic that this summit will push our cooperation further and faster," he added. The attention is also focused on a parallel Asean-GCC Summit and Asean-GCC-China Summit which expected to mark a significant step forward in regional diplomacy. It was reported that Premier Li Qiang will represent China in the inaugural Asean-GCC-China Summit in Kuala Lumpur next week. The 46th Asean Summit, slated to be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre on May 26 and 27, will bring together leaders from Asean member states to discuss regional issues and chart the future direction of Asean cooperation. With the theme Inclusivity and Sustainability, this will mark Malaysia's fifth time chairing Asean, following previous terms in 1977, 1997, 2005 and 2015. – Bernama
