PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said Malaysia will remain actively involved in international humanitarian efforts to defend the rights of the Palestinian people amid the worsening crisis in Gaza.
Anwar said the Madani government would be directly involved in the Global Sumud Flotilla 2.0 as part of a broader international moral struggle that demands courage in upholding justice and humanitarian rights, regardless of borders, race or religion.
“We will mobilise all our efforts to help and defend the rights of the Palestinian people. This justice can no longer be delayed, for the sake of a dignified and independent Palestine,” he said on his Facebook page on Tuesday (Jan 13).
Anwar said he had earlier received a courtesy call from Sumud Nusantara Command Centre (SNCC) director-general Datuk Sani Araby, who is also the chief humanitarian activist of Mapim, together with Nadir Al-Nuri, founder of Sumud Nusantara, at Perdana Putra.
Among others, he said discussions also touched on upcoming humanitarian initiatives, including Malaysia’s key role in the Global Sumud Flotilla 2.0, which is expected to involve participation from more than 80 countries.
"I was informed of the escalating humanitarian situation in Gaza, the ongoing aid sanctions, the uncertainty of the conflict, and the continuing suffering of the cruelty of the Palestinians.
“Datuk Sani and Nadir also shared the achievements of the Sumud Nusantara Mission, which has succeeded in breaking the silence of the world and elevating the voice of Gaza onto the international stage,” he said.
