Malaysia backs new push to expose Israeli violations at Jerusalem holy sites: Tok Mat
NEW YORK: Malaysia supports a sustainable mechanism, including a dedicated media platform, to document and expose Israel’s violations against holy sites and worshippers in Jerusalem, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said.
Malaysia is backing a new initiative to expose Israeli violations at Jerusalem's holy sites, according to Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan. He proposed a dedicated media platform to document these violations and hold Israel accountable for its crimes. Hasan emphasized that East Jerusalem is an integral part of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and the capital of the State of Palestine, as affirmed by the International Court of Justice's Advisory Opinion in July 2024.
He strongly condemned the escalating violations at Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram Al-Sharif, including settler incursions, restrictions on worshippers, and attempts to alter the site's status quo. Malaysia reaffirmed its support for the Hashemite Custodianship over the Islamic and Christian Holy Sites in Jerusalem and called for sustained coordination, collective resolve, and decisive action to protect Palestinian rights.
The minister also urged the UN Security Council to take decisive actions and urged Member States to halt the provision of arms and financial support to Israel.
