Malaysia to support Palestinian bid for statehood

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will support Palestine's bid for statehood when it re-submits its resolution to the United Nations (UN) Security Council after failing to get enough votes in a previous attempt.

Deputy Foreign Minister Datuk Hamzah Zainuddin gave his assurance that Malaysia, which recently secured a seat in the Council, would vote in favour of Palestine's resolution to establish itself as a state.
