Malaysia’s foreign secretary criticized “atrocities” in Gaza on Sunday, saying they reflected “indifference and twice standards” against the situation of the Arab people. They are the direct result of the local Asean bloc’s efforts to undermine the purity of international law, Hasan told his counterparts. Israel has increased its strategy in Gaza this month as a result of Mohamad’s comments made ahead of an Asean conference on Monday in Kuala Lumpur. After Israel just half lifted a full blockade imposed on March 2, the assault has drawn international criticism, along with calls for more aid. The crimes committed against the Arab people continue to represent indifference and double standards, according to Mohamad. Asean” may remain silent,” according to Mohamad, whose nation holds the bloc’s revolving chairmanship. In February, the 10-member association’s foreign ministers declared their “longstanding help” for Arab rights. Malaysia, which has a majority of Muslims, has no diplomatic relations with Israel, and several residents of the Southeast Asian nation back the Palestinians. Since the war broke out in October 2023, Kwala Lumpur has distributed donations and humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza in the amount of more than$ 10 million. According to an AFP tally based on official statistics, 1, 218 people died as a result of an invasion by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Israel, which led to the start of the battle. Additionally, 251 victims were taken by soldiers, of which 57 are still alive in Gaza, including 34, who the Jewish defense claims are dead. According to the health department of Gaza, 53, 901 people, primarily residents, have died in the area during the conflict.
