In the West Bank, Egypt condemns the Zionist decision to establish 22 settlements
Cairo – INA Egypt condemned, on Friday, the Zionist occupation's decision to approve the establishment of 22 new settlements in the occupied West Bank. Cairo stressed, according to a statement received and followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "this decision represents a flagrant violation of international legitimacy resolutions, most notably the Fourth Geneva Convention, Security Council resolutions, including Resolution 2334, and the Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice regarding the Zionist occupation of Palestinian territories." The statement added that "the Arab Republic of Egypt affirms that the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital, is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people and a legitimate, irreversible international demand. The Zionist settlements have no legal basis and constitute a flagrant violation of international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention, which affirms that an occupying power may not deport or transfer parts of its population to the territories it occupies. The Zionist settlements also constitute a major obstacle to achieving a just, lasting and comprehensive peace."

Malaysia joins ICJ advisory opinion proceedings in support of Palestine
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will participate in the public hearings on the advisory opinion regarding Israel's obligations concerning the Occupied Palestinian Territory at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, beginning Monday (April 28). The public hearings on the "Obligations of Israel in relation to the Presence and Activities of the United Nations, other International Organisations, and Third States in, and in relation to, the Occupied Palestinian Territory" are scheduled from April 28 to May 2. In a statement, Wisma Putra said that Minister for Law and Institutional Reform in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said will lead the Malaysian delegation, accompanied by senior officials from Wisma Putra, Legal Affairs Division, Attorney General's Chambers, and the Embassy of Malaysia in The Hague. Azalina is scheduled to address the court on April 28 at 11.00 pm Malaysian time. "This marks Malaysia's third participation in ICJ Advisory Opinion proceedings related to Palestine, following previous engagements in 2004 and 2024. "The hearings aim to provide an advisory opinion on the legal responsibilities of Israel concerning its presence and actions in the territory, and the implications for the United Nations, international organisations, and third states. "Malaysia's involvement underscores its commitment to upholding international law and advocating for Palestinian rights," the statement read. Wisma Putra added that Malaysia stands firm in her principled stance of continuing to advocate for the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian State, based on the pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, as part of her commitment to justice, peace and respect for international law. This Advisory Opinion stems from the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 79/232 adopted on Dec 19, 2024. Malaysia co-sponsored and voted in favour of this Resolution and was part of the Core Group that initiated the Resolution. Malaysia will join 39 other States and four international organisations at the Oral Hearings. On Feb 28, Malaysia submitted a written statement to the court, in pursuance of continued advocacy for Palestinian rights, and emphasised the urgent need for accountability for Israel's clear and blatant violations of international law, which undermine the Palestinian people's right to self-determination. In light of the renewed and ongoing offensive against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, Malaysia remains resolute in reinforcing these arguments during the upcoming Oral Hearings. Malaysia's participation for the third time at the Advisory Opinion Proceedings is a continuation of previous participations in 2004 and 2024, respectively.– BERNAMA

Palestine condemns expansion of Zionist enemy army in Gaza Strip
Ramallah - Saba: The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the Zionist enemy's expansion of its ground invasion of the Gaza Strip and the mobilization of additional forces and military equipment to participate in the war of extermination and displacement against the Palestinian people. In a statement issued Monday, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry warned of the repercussions of the Zionist enemy's escalation of ethnic cleansing crimes and the wholesale demolition of homes in the northern occupied West Bank and its refugee camps, as well as the expansion of the forced displacement of tens of thousands of citizens who have become homeless and are subjected to the most horrific forms of suffering, especially during the holy month of Ramadan. It noted that the international community's reliance on a few statements, expressions of concern, and unimplemented UN resolutions now provides cover for the enemy's crimes and its violent isolation of the Palestinian people. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry called for increased international pressure to compel the Zionist enemy to implement international legitimacy resolutions, particularly Security Council Resolution 2735, the Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice, and dozens of other international resolutions to which it has not complied.
