Anwar expresses 'utter disgust' over international community's failure on Palestine
BANGI: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has expressed deep disappointment over the international order’s failure to address the Palestinian cause, describing it as a failure to uphold democracy and human rights.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim expressed profound dissatisfaction with the international community's lack of action towards the Palestinian cause, labeling it as a breach of democratic and human rights principles. He questioned the international community's consistency in upholding these values, arguing that Palestinians should not be subject to different treatment.
Anwar criticized the international order's hypocrisy, stating that without democracy and human rights, humanity reduces to mere animals or slaves. At the Sumud Nusantara Dinner, he emphasized that the international community's failure to address the Palestinian issue is a continuation of historical injustices, likening the current situation to the oppression faced by formerly colonized nations during the colonial era.
He cited Gaza as an example, highlighting that the Palestinian struggle is not a recent phenomenon but has endured for 70 years.

He maintained that the fundamental issue is the humanity of Palestinians and their right to be free from colonization.
