Malaysia Rejects Forced Displacement of Palestinians, Calls for Two-State Solution
Malaysia has strongly rejected any plan that could lead to the forced displacement of Palestinians, calling it a violation of international law and multiple United Nations (UN) resolutions.
Statement from the Foreign Ministry
In a statement on Thursday, the Foreign Ministry (Wisma Putra) said any unilateral attempt — direct or indirect — to undermine Palestinian self-determination was unacceptable and would only prolong the conflict. The statement read, "Malaysia continues to stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine. The only viable path to lasting peace and stability in the Middle East is through the establishment of an independent and sovereign State of Palestine, based on pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital."
Call for International Support
The government called on the international community to unite in pushing for a credible and permanent solution that is acceptable to Palestinians. Malaysia echoed the resolution of the Extraordinary Arab-Islamic Summit on November 11, 2024, urging all nations that have yet to support the two-state solution to recognize the State of Palestine and support its full membership in the UN.
Commitment to Diplomatic Efforts
Malaysia also reaffirmed its commitment to diplomatic and multilateral efforts, including initiatives by the Global Alliance and The Hague Group, in pursuing a lasting peace based on establishing an independent and sovereign Palestinian state.
Response to US President’s Proposal
On Wednesday, international media reported that United States (US) President Donald Trump suggested Washington should "take over" Gaza and redevelop it, a proposal widely condemned as violating international law and disregarding Palestinian rights.
Conclusion
Malaysia’s stance on the issue is clear: any plan that leads to the forced displacement of Palestinians is unacceptable and must be rejected. The country’s commitment to the two-state solution and its support for the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state are unwavering.
