Former Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has criticised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his stance against the creation of a Palestinian state. In a Facebook post, Mahathir described Netanyahu's statement as "the most ungrateful" remark, stating that Israel was established on land that had been taken from the Palestinians.
Mahathir also accused Netanyahu and his supporters of lacking gratitude, asserting that demonstrating appreciation was not a characteristic of the Israeli Prime Minister or his supporters.
Mahathir's comments came amid ongoing calls for more aggressive military action in Gaza from hardline Israeli figures. Earlier this week, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called for daily killings of between 30 and 40 Palestinians in the territory, a proposal that drew international condemnation, including from the United Nations. The question of Palestinian statehood continues to be a central issue in international efforts to resolve the conflict in Gaza.
