Malaysia's foreign minister Mohamad Hasan made a bold statement ahead of Monday's ASEAN summit in Kuala Lumpur by condemning the ongoing military actions in Gaza. He described the events as "atrocities" that reveal clear indifference and double standards toward the plight of the Palestinian people, stressing that these actions erode the sanctity of international law.
Hasan warned that such atrocities demand a response, adding, "ASEAN cannot remain silent." His remarks echo the longstanding support for Palestinian rights previously expressed by ASEAN foreign ministers.
In addition to his strong words, Malaysia—a nation without diplomatic ties with Israel—has taken practical steps by channeling over $10 million in humanitarian aid and donations to Palestinians in Gaza since the conflict erupted in October 2023.
As the situation unfolds with intensified military campaigns and ongoing global criticism, staying informed and speaking up for humanitarian causes becomes more crucial than ever. Let's keep the conversation alive and advocate for accountability! 💬✊
