Malaysia pledges an additional US$1 million (approximately RM4.07 million) over five years to UNRWA for humanitarian aid in Palestine. Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan announced the annual US$200,000 (RM813,700) contributions will continue until 2030. He emphasized the necessity of a clear message that Palestinian statehood should no longer be postponed.
The Malaysian diplomat called upon the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to push for an immediate and lasting ceasefire during the OIC Annual Coordination Meeting and Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in New York. Hasan urged Israel to cease settler violence in the West Bank, halt the illegal displacement of Palestinians in Jerusalem, and refrain from actions that could alter Jerusalem's identity and holy sites.
He reminded the OIC of its role in advancing a Palestinian state in accordance with the two-state solution. Additionally, Malaysia urged OIC member states to bolster the protection, rebuilding, and strengthening of Palestinian institutions, ensuring accountability for Israeli violations of international law, including allegations of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, and seek appropriate reparations for the Palestinian people. The statement was made on September 25, 2026.
