Malaysia Condemns Latest Israeli Attacks In Gaza, Cites Violation Of Ceasefire

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 22 (Bernama) -- Malaysia strongly condemns the latest attacks by Israeli forces in Gaza, which have resulted in the deaths of innocent civilian lives, including children and journalists.

In a statement, the Foreign Ministry said the attack constitutes a serious violation of international humanitarian and human rights law.

The ministry, also known as Wisma Putra, stressed that the attack was a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement declared by United States (US) President Donald Trump as part of his 20-point Peace Plan on Sept 29, 2025.

“Malaysia reiterates that all parties to the conflict are obliged to uphold international law. 

“Attacks that result in the loss of civilian lives and impede access to safety and essential services are unacceptable and undermine efforts towards de-escalation, peace, and stability,” it said on Thursday.

Wisma Putra said that Malaysia reiterates its call for an immediate and sustained cessation of hostilities and for all parties to recommit to a return to meaningful negotiations toward a just and lasting peace. 

It noted that Malaysia remains steadfast in its support for the Palestinian people’s inalienable rights, including their right to self-determination and the establishment of a sovereign and independent State of Palestine based on pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
