BANGI, Jan 23 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today that Malaysia would find it difficult to support the Board of Peace for Gaza without clear guarantees on the fate of Palestinians, especially in Gaza.
“We have given our views. We are following developments, and it is quite difficult (to give support) unless there are genuinely strong and firm guarantees concerning Gazans and Palestinians.
“(The issue of) recognition, a complete halt to the brutal and barbaric attacks by the Israeli regime, and the restoration of humanitarian aid. These have not been carried out, so it is difficult for us to give early support,” he told reporters after Friday prayers at Surau Al Amin in Bandar Baru Bangi here.
Previously, Anwar said Malaysia is cautious about declaring support for the Board of Peace, proposed by United States President Donald Trump and aimed at ending unrest in Gaza.
According to Anwar, the government has yet to obtain details about the board.
On January 16, Trump announced the establishment of a Board of Peace for Gaza as a key element of a plan to end unrest in the Palestinian territory.
