Malaysia: Malaysia on Saturday welcomed a United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) resolution restating Israeli occupation obligations in the occupied Palestinian territory.
According to Kuwait News Agency, the Malaysian Foreign Ministry issued a press statement, noting that the resolution, led by a group of like-minded countries, including Malaysia, reaffirms the primacy of international law and underscores the international community's collective resolve to fully and swiftly implement the recent findings of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in its Advisory Opinion.
The statement further demanded Israeli occupation's immediate compliance with all its legal obligations, including facilitating, without obstruction, humanitarian relief efforts by UN entities, particularly the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), as well as international organizations and member states.
The ministry emphasized that Malaysia would continue collaborating with the international community to ensure a just, comprehensive, and lasting solution to the Palestinian cause in accordance with international law and relevant UN resolutions.
The United Nations General Assembly on Friday overwhelmingly backed a resolution demanding the Israeli occupation to open unrestricted humanitarian access to the Gaza Strip, stop attacking UN facilities, and abide by international law in line with its obligations as an occupying power. The resolution saw 139 countries in favor, while 12 countries, including the Israeli occupation and the US, voted against it, with 19 abstentions.
