KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Parliament's Palestine Caucus is set to submit a motion addressing the Gaza genocide to the Speaker's Office, with plans to debate it during the upcoming parliamentary session, according to its chairman Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh. The proposed motion would advocate for a lasting ceasefire, protection of civilians, and unhindered access to humanitarian aid, while also opposing Palestinian displacement and supporting the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and International Criminal Court (ICC) processes.
The caucus also aims to strengthen diplomatic action and establish a framework for Gaza's recovery, focusing on healthcare, education, child rehabilitation, and Palestinian-led reconstruction. Syed Ibrahim emphasized the need for adequate time to allow for thorough debate and cross-party participation. The caucus is seeking cooperation from the government and its MPs to finalize and table the motion per the parliamentary rules.
The public is invited to participate in the Three-Year Commemoration of the Gaza Genocide event, taking place from 2pm to 5pm this Friday at Menara Tabung Haji and subsequently at the United States embassy.
