MALAYSIA CALLS FOR CEASEFIRE IN LEBANON

Malaysia is gravely concerned over the escalation of conflict in the Middle East and has strongly condemned the attacks by the Israeli regime in Lebanon which have claimed the lives of over 600 people and caused widespread destruction to the infrastructure.

Malaysia calls for an immediate end to the conflict which would otherwise risk a wider regional escalation.

In support of diplomatic efforts to end the conflict, Malaysia welcomes the Joint Statement of 25 September 2024 by the United States, Australia, Canada, European Union, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and Qatar, calling for an immediate ceasefire, consistent with UNSC Resolution 1701 (2006).

Malaysia strongly underlines the necessity of implementing UNSC Resolution 2735 (2024) to bring to an immediate end the genocide and the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

Malaysia reaffirms its commitment to promoting peace, dialogue, and cooperation in the pursuit of justice, security as well as international peace. Malaysia continues to support all efforts aimed at achieving a just and lasting solution to the ongoing conflicts.
