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

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.

Thai-Cambodia conflict: Wisma Putra told to provide updates on potential ceasefire, says Fahmi

PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has instructed Wisma Putra to monitor developments in the escalating border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia following positive signals from both countries regarding the possibility of a ceasefire. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil, who is also the Madani Government spokesman, said the matter is in line with Malaysia's role as the Asean Chair for 2025. Fahmi said Anwar informed the Cabinet that he had contacted Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thailand's Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai on Thursday (July 24) regarding the issue. 'At this point, there is a willingness from both sides to announce a ceasefire, and we are awaiting their statements. 'Following this, the Prime Minister has asked Wisma Putra to examine the situation and provide updates on the outcome of discussions between Thailand and Cambodia,' he said at his weekly press conference here on Friday (July 25). Media reports stated that Thai and Cambodian troops clashed on Thursday in a disputed border area, with both sides accusing each other of triggering the latest confrontation. Tensions between the two Southeast Asian nations have escalated since May 28 following a bloody incident in the Preah Vihear area, which claimed the life of a Cambodian soldier. The two countries have been at odds over an 817km undemarcated border for decades, and the dispute continues to strain diplomatic ties. Last Wednesday, the Thai government downgraded diplomatic relations with Cambodia after a Thai soldier was injured by a landmine, which Thailand alleged was recently planted in the area. Cambodia later retaliated by downgrading its diplomatic relations with Thailand to the lowest level. – Bernama
