KUALA LUMPUR: The public has been invited to attend the rally for Palestine liberation, dubbed “Himpunan Pembebasan Palestin”, at Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil, tomorrow.
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil, in a Facebook post that included the rally’s official poster, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will officiate at the rally, scheduled to begin at 8pm.
Yesterday, Anwar said the gathering is one of the moves to send a strong message to the world that Malaysia is condemning the assassination of Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh and will continue to support Palestine, Bernama reported.
Haniyeh, the former prime minister of Palestine, was reported to have been killed in an airstrike that targeted his residence in Teheran, Iran, on July 31.
He was there to attend the inauguration of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
On Oct 24 last year, a Solidarity with Gaza gathering was held at Masjid Negara in Kuala Lumpur.
Political leaders from both sides of the divide came together to show solidarity and voice their support for the people of Palestine.
