PUTRAJAYA, June 5 — Malaysia strongly supports the United States’ proposal for a complete ceasefire to end the conflict in Gaza, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today.
He said the proposal from President Joe Biden, with Qatar and Egypt, seeks to achieve stable peace in Palestine and for Israel to stop violent attacks on Gaza.
“We also discussed it in the Cabinet meeting (today) and gave support to Egypt, Qatar and the United States. I believe it is more lenient based on what I have discussed with the Hamas leadership,” he told the media after launching the Malaysia Madani Nationhood Training Module here.
He called the ceasefire proposal the most decisive approach taken by Washington so far, and called on all parties to fully support it.
He said the United States’ decisive action against Israel is necessary considering the suffering of Palestinians due to Israel’s arrogance.
On May 31, Biden announced a three-phase proposal for a complete ceasefire in Gaza, the release of prisoners from both sides, efforts towards a permanent end to hostilities, and a reconstruction plan for Gaza.
