KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has received an invitation from King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia to participate in the extraordinary Arab-Islamic Summit on Nov 11, aimed at discussing the ongoing war crimes and atrocities committed by Israel against Palestine.
Anwar said that his participation at the summit, set to take place in Riyadh, is to bring the mandate of the Malaysian Parliament, which is to advocate for firm action to stop the ongoing Israeli aggression and atrocities against the Palestinians.
He said Malaysia would also raise issues regarding the invasion and destruction of places of worship in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT), and open attacks on regions in Lebanon and Iran, including the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar.
“Additionally, this summit will address the current challenges faced by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), following the Israeli regime’s decision to ban the operations of the humanitarian organisation on Oct 28,” he said during the briefing session on the Palestinian issue at the Dewan Rakyat today. – BERNAMA
