De-escalate Mid-East situation, keep Palestinian objective in mind, says Wisma Putra


PETALING JAYA: Malaysia strongly urges all parties in the Middle East to refrain from escalating the already tense situation in the region due to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohaamad Hasan said in a statement on Sunday (April 14) that while Iran claimed to act in self-defence in launching drones at Israel earlier in the day, the international community should not lose sight of ensuring the freedom of Palestine.
