KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia continues to stand firm in its solidarity and commitment to the rights of the Palestinian people to determine their own future and to establish an independent and sovereign state with Baitulmaqdis as its capital, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The Deputy Prime Minister reiterated this stance at a dinner hosted by the Palestinian ambassador Walid Abu Ali, in honour of the visiting Religious Affairs Advisor to the President of Palestine and Chief Justice of the Palestinian Syariah Court, Dr Mahmoud Sedqi Abdalrahman Alhabbash, on Monday (Dec 9).
"I also took this opportunity to reaffirm Malaysia’s unwavering support for the struggle of the Palestinian people who have long faced various forms of oppression and injustice.
"May the close relationship between Malaysia and Palestine continue to strengthen, and may Allah SWT ease all efforts to achieve peace and justice in Palestine," he said in a social media post. – Bernama
