MALAYSIA WELCOMES THE ADOPTION OF THE UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION ON GAZA

 

MALAYSIA WELCOMES THE ADOPTION OF THE UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION ON GAZA

 

Malaysia welcomes the adoption of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 2728 (2024) on Gaza on 25 March 2024, demanding for an immediate ceasefire, unconditional release of all hostages and the lifting of all barriers to the provision of humanitarian assistance.

The adoption of the resolution is a significant breakthrough after the conflict in Gaza broke out more than five months ago.

Malaysia has long called for the UNSC to fulfil its charter-mandated responsibility to protect Palestinians from Israel’s atrocities, which thus far has claimed the lives of more than 32,000 civilians. The deliberate blockades imposed by Israel had caused catastrophic levels of food insecurity, with the risk of famine and malnutrition for the 2.3 million residents in Gaza.

Malaysia calls on the UNSC to ensure Israel fulfils its obligations under international law and to immediately end its atrocities against Palestinians.

Malaysia remains committed to the Palestinian cause and will continue efforts, within its means and capabilities, for the establishment of an independent and sovereign State of Palestine, based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, as well as the admission of Palestine as a full Member of the United Nations.
