The Malaysian Parliament's Palestine Caucus plans to submit a motion regarding the Gaza conflict to the Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat for debate in the upcoming parliamentary session. The proposed motion will address several key issues, including the need for a lasting ceasefire, the protection of civilians, and unhindered access to humanitarian aid.
Chairman Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh emphasized the importance of rejecting forced displacement and affirming Palestinians' right to self-determination. He also called for support of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (ICC) and adherence to relevant international judicial decisions. The Caucus further stated that the motion will advocate for stronger diplomatic action, scrutiny of military assistance, and arms transfers that could potentially violate international law.
Moreover, they aim to establish a Malaysian framework focused on the recovery of Gaza, prioritizing healthcare, education, child rehabilitation, and Palestinian-led reconstruction. Syed Noh highlighted the Caucus' desire for ample time to facilitate a substantive debate, as well as the participation of MPs from all political affiliations.
The Caucus has invited the public to join the Three-Year Commemoration of the Gaza Genocide event taking place from 2pm to 5pm this Friday, starting at Menara Tabung Haji and moving to the United States Embassy.
