Shared Commitment to Humanitarian Efforts
TEHRAN: Malaysia and Iran share a firm commitment to humanitarian efforts in addressing Israeli violence against Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, said Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan. He made this statement during his courtesy call to Iranian President Dr Masoud Pezeshkian at his office here, which lasted about 30 minutes, on Wednesday.
Reaffirming United Stance Against Terrorism
"We not only discussed multilateral relations but also reaffirmed our united stance against all forms of terrorism, in Palestine, Lebanon and Syria, especially the proposal by Israel and other parties to relocate the Palestinian people out of Gaza," said Mohamad.
Monitoring Upcoming Arab Emergency Summit
"We are closely monitoring the upcoming Arab Emergency Summit on Tuesday, as its resolutions will be crucial for discussions at the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation’s (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers’ meeting on March 7," he added, speaking to Bernama after meeting staff of the Malaysian Embassy in Iran before concluding his maiden official visit to the country.
Egypt’s Plan to Restore Gaza
Meanwhile, Anadolu Agency (AA) previously reported that Egypt has confirmed it will host an Emergency Arab Summit on March 4 to discuss plans for restoring Gaza without displacing Palestinians. The summit was held following United States President Donald Trump’s proposal to take over Gaza and move the Palestinians to other territories, stating the desire to develop it as the "Riviera of the Middle East."
Malaysia’s Concerns
On February 16, the media reported that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi confirmed that his country is drawing up a plan to completely restore Gaza without displacing Palestinians. Elaborating on the issue, Mohamad said: "For Palestine, we heard that Egypt and Saudi Arabia have proposals on how to manage the situation in Gaza after the ceasefire is implemented. So we hope this ceasefire will last so we can focus on discussing the reconstruction of Gaza."
Conclusion
In conclusion, Malaysia and Iran’s commitment to addressing Israeli violence in Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria is a significant step towards promoting peace and stability in the region. The upcoming Arab Emergency Summit and the OIC’s Council of Foreign Ministers’ meeting will be crucial in shaping the future of the region. As a concerned party, Malaysia will continue to monitor the situation and work towards a peaceful resolution.
