PUTRAJAYA, Dec 17 (Bernama) — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has taken to task the views of certain parties who have questioned Malaysia’s assistance to Gaza, describing such criticism as lacking humanitarian values.
Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, said that over the past two to three years, Malaysia had channelled about RM100 million in humanitarian aid to Gaza, even as peace initiatives were undertaken by United States President Donald Trump.
He said the assistance was extended on humanitarian grounds due to the continued violations by the Israeli regime of ceasefire agreements and crimes committed against the Palestinian population.
“Continuous violations, hundreds of breaches of agreements have been carried out by the Israeli regime. Small children and women continue to be killed… most mosques and churches have also been destroyed,” he said at a briefing with Editors-in-Chief of local and international media here today.
Also present were Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) Chief Executive Officer Datin Paduka Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin and Editor-in-Chief Arul Rajoo Durar Raj, with the briefing attended by 92 representatives from local and international media.
