Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan expressed his country's grave concern over the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, describing it as the result of what he termed "continued genocide and ethnic cleansing" perpetrated by the Israeli occupation.

In an official statement released by Malaysia's Foreign Ministry, Hasan stated that Israel's 22-month blockade has caused severe shortages of food, clean water, medical supplies, and fuel, warning of imminent famine as thousands of civilians—including children—begin showing signs of acute malnutrition.

Key Points from the Statement:

1. Documented Atrocities

   • "We are deeply alarmed by the brutal crimes committed since late May 2025, with over 1,300 Palestinian martyrs documented while waiting in aid queues."

   • These atrocities necessitate an urgent international investigation and accountability for those responsible.

2. Call for International Action

   • Demanded immediate measures to:

     • Halt Israeli military operations

     • End forced displacement attempts

     • Lift the blockade on humanitarian aid

   • Emphasized that obstructing aid violates:

     • International law

     • International humanitarian law

     • International human rights law

3. Malaysia's Stance on Palestine

   • Reaffirmed unwavering solidarity with Palestinian self-determination

   • Supports an independent Palestinian state based on 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital

   • Backs full UN membership for Palestine

   • Noted broad support for:
