Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has criticized the international community's double standards regarding the suffering of Palestinians. He questioned why the same principles of democracy and human rights are not applied consistently to Palestine due to differences in rules, judgements and discussions based on race, religion or nationality.
Anwar, a former colonized nation, emphasized Malaysia's opposition to colonialism, imperialism, injustice and oppression. He lamented the ongoing atrocities against Palestinians and criticized the limited international efforts to defend oppressed communities. Anwar stressed that Palestinians should not be denied their rights or subjected to continued occupation and brutality based on their Arab, Palestinian or Muslim identity.
He urged for growing awareness in various regions to strengthen international support for justice and Palestinian independence, particularly for children caught in the prolonged conflict. The participation of international representatives from various countries highlighted the struggle for freedom and justice beyond national borders.
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil confirmed Malaysia's commitment to establishing an independent Palestinian state, stating that Anwar's stance reflects this commitment. Fahmi expressed readiness to assist Sumud Nusantara and the Global Sumud Flotilla through social media outreach and other initiatives.
