Malaysia has expressed its strong support for a joint statement issued by the leaders of Qatar, Egypt, and the United States regarding the ongoing situation in Gaza. The joint statement, which calls for an immediate ceasefire and a return to peace talks, has been hailed by Malaysia as a crucial step towards de-escalating the violence and addressing the humanitarian crisis in the region.
In a formal response, the Malaysian government emphasized the importance of collective international efforts to restore peace in Gaza and ensure the protection of civilians. The statement from Qatar, Egypt, and the United States aligns with Malaysia’s long-standing position advocating for a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which has seen significant escalations in recent weeks.
Malaysia also reiterated its call for the international community to intensify diplomatic efforts to achieve a two-state solution, which it views as the only viable path to lasting peace in the region. The Malaysian government urged all parties involved to honour the ceasefire and engage in meaningful dialogue to resolve the underlying issues that have fueled the conflict.
Additionally, Malaysia commended the leaders of Qatar, Egypt, and the United States for their leadership in addressing the Gaza crisis. The joint statement is seen as a positive development that could pave the way for broader international cooperation in bringing stability to the Middle East. Malaysia also reaffirmed its commitment to working with regional and global partners to support peace efforts and provide humanitarian assistance to those affected by the conflict in Gaza.
Malaysia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs also emphasized the critical need for sustained international attention on the humanitarian needs in Gaza. The ministry urged the global community, particularly the United Nations and international humanitarian organizations, to step up their efforts in delivering aid to the affected populations. Malaysia reiterated its commitment to providing humanitarian assistance and called on other nations to contribute generously to relief efforts.
Moreover, Malaysia highlighted the importance of addressing the root causes of the conflict, which include the long-standing issues of occupation and the blockade of Gaza. The Malaysian government underscored that without addressing these fundamental issues, any ceasefire would only be temporary. Malaysia continues to advocate for a comprehensive peace process that includes the recognition of Palestinian rights and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
