Malaysia expresses 'solidarity' with Palestinians

“The confiscation of land and property belonging to the Palestinian people is done relentlessly by the Zionists. As a result of this injustice, hundreds of innocent lives were sacrificed,” Anwar said in a post on X, according to Anadolu Agency. 

“Malaysia remains in solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people," he maintained.

In a separate statement, the Malaysian Foreign Ministry said that Kaula Lumpur is concerned over the loss of so many lives due to clashes in and around the Gaza Strip.

At this critical time, further loss of lives, suffering, and destruction should stop and the conflicting parties must exercise restraint and deescalate, it added

Kaula Lumpur called upon the UN Security Council to "urgently convene an emergency session to demand all parties stop the violence as well as respect and protect the lives of innocent civilians."

Hamas in coordination with other Palestinian Resistance groups launched Operation Al-Aqsa Storm on Saturday and said the surprise attack was in response to the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and increased settler violence. It said it fired rockets and captured many Zionists.

About 750 Zionists have been missing since fighting broke out on Saturday morning, local Zionists media reported early Sunday.

At least 313 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 2,000 others injured in the attacks, according to medical sources in Gaza, while the Israeli death toll climbed to 600.

More than 3,000 rockets have been launched by Hamas toward the occupied lands since Saturday morning, according to the Israeli regime's army.
