Malaysia strongly opposes forced displacement of Palestinians, says Wisma Putra


PETALING JAYA: Malaysia strongly opposes any proposal that could lead to the forced displacement or movement of Palestinians from their homeland.

"Such inhumane actions constitute ethnic cleansing and are clear violations of international law and multiple United Nations resolutions," said the Foreign Affairs Ministry in a statement on Thursday (Feb 6).

"Any attempt, whether direct or indirect, to unilaterally and forcefully impose solutions that disregard the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and infringes on their freedom is unacceptable, unjustifiable and will only further deepen one of the longest conflicts in the region."

The ministry said the international community must unite in calling for a credible and permanent solution that is acceptable to the Palestinians, which in regard is the Resolution of the Extraordinary Arab-Islamic Summit 2024, adopted on Nov 11, 2024.

"This is for all nations that have yet to support the two-state solution to do so, to recognise Palestine and for it to be accepted as a full member of the UN.

"Malaysia reaffirms its support and multilateral efforts, including those being undertaken by the Global Alliance and the Hague Group, in pursuing lasting peace through the establishment of an independent and sovereign state of Palestine," the statement added.
