West Asia peace talks must acknowledge ‘initial aggression’ by US, Israel, says Anwar
The prime minister says there is a reluctance by countries to recognise the origins of the conflict.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim emphasized at the BRICS Summit that acknowledging the origins of the conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran is crucial for resolving the ongoing tensions in West Asia. In an interview with NDTV, Anwar stated that there is reluctance among countries to accept the fact that the conflict was initiated by the US and Israel.
He called for an end to the violence, asserting that any discussion towards resolving the conflict must begin with recognizing the initial aggression perpetrated by Washington and Tel Aviv. Anwar highlighted the reluctance of many nations to accept this fact, urging them to stop the ongoing aggression. He also addressed the maximalist positions adopted by Iran and the US, emphasizing that a peaceful resolution requires halting all forms of violence, including those committed by Iran.
During his discussions with world leaders at the BRICS Summit in New Delhi, Anwar covered various topics, including global geopolitical developments and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, alongside the tensions in West Asia.
