PNN – Following the US President Donald Trump’s plan to relocate the people of Gaza, the Prime Minister of Malaysia emphasized that it is important for Malaysia to maintain its stance on Gaza like other Muslim countries.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, citing Star newspaper, Anwar Ibrahim, in response to a question about whether his country is committed to the reconstruction of Gaza, announced that Malaysia will not abandon its position on the liberation of Palestine as a Muslim country.
He stated at the International Islamic University of his country: Malaysia will not change its position on this issue with its concerns about Gaza. It is important that Malaysia maintains its position like other Islamic countries.
Last week, Malaysia’s prime minister announced that the country was committed to building a school, hospital and mosque as part of its initial contribution to Gaza reconstruction efforts.

Some groups have claimed that the Malaysian government should first address its domestic issues before committing to the reconstruction of Gaza. Others supported Anwar’s statement and pointed to Malaysia’s track record in helping other countries rebuild after crises, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, Timor Leste and Aceh after the Asian tsunami.
This is despite the fact that last night Trump said in a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Washington will take control of Gaza.
He once again repeated his words about the transfer of Palestinians living in Gaza to new places that will be provided by other countries in the Middle East and claimed: This is a humanitarian act because it is impossible for anyone to want to stay in a war-torn area.
The President of the United States ignored the protest of a reporter who said that “Palestinians should stay in Gaza because it is their home”, and claimed that the Gaza Strip is not a suitable place for Palestinians and they should be provided with a good and new piece of land.
Trump also stated that the entire Gaza Strip is full of rubble and collapsing buildings and claimed: Palestinians living in this area can be moved to other places to live in peace because we want the Arab and Islamic nations to enjoy peace and tranquility.
