PUTRAJAYA, Sept 10 (Bernama) — Malaysia stands ready to engage Islamic world leaders through the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to strongly condemn Israel’s escalating violence and human rights violations, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today.
He said that he would personally take the initiative to contact several key Muslim leaders, including the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, regarding the matter.
“If necessary, I will reach out to the Emir of Qatar, President Erdogan, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and other Muslim leaders, because Israel’s conduct has gone far beyond the limits of decency,” Anwar told reporters after officiating the 9th International Conference on Social Sciences and Humanities (ICOSH 2025) here today.
His remarks come in the wake of Israel’s latest airstrike in Doha, Qatar, which reportedly targeted a meeting of Hamas political leaders discussing a United States-backed ceasefire proposal for Gaza.
The strike, which took place in the Leqtaifiya district and reportedly involved around 15 Israeli fighter jets, killed six individuals, including the son of senior Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya, his office director, and a Qatari security officer. Top Hamas leaders reportedly survived the attack.
The ICOSH 2025 carries the theme ‘Human Relationship in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Technology’ and focuses on various disciplines, including social work, psychology, linguistics, literature, communication, security, culture, politics, religion, digital studies and economics.
Through its organiser, the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities (FSSK), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) aims to strengthen collective efforts to deepen understanding, expand collaboration, and reinforce responses to increasingly complex global social issues.
Present today were the Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir, UKM Board of Directors chairman Prof Emeritus Datuk Dr Mohamad Abd Razak, Director General of Higher Education Datuk Prof Dr Azlinda Azman and FSSK Dean Prof Dr Kadaruddin Aiyub
