Iran, Malaysia slam Western military support for Israel

Iran and Malaysia agree that the arms support provided by the United States and other Western countries to Israel contradicts their claims about human rights and undermines efforts to establish a ceasefire in Gaza.

In a phone conversation on Monday, President Masoud Pezeshkian of Iran and Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim of Malaysia discussed the latest developments in the region, particularly the ongoing Gaza ceasefire negotiations.

The two sides underscored the importance of fostering unity and coherence among Muslim states to fight the crimes of Israel and end the genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip.

They said holding a summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) will be effective in this regard.

Israel launched its barbaric campaign of genocide in Gaza on October 7, 2023, after Palestinian resistance groups conducted surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm into the occupied territories.

The regime has imposed a near-total siege on the coastal territory, significantly reducing the flow of food, medicine, electricity, and water into the Palestinian region to a trickle.

So far, Israel has killed more than 40,000 Gazans, most of them women, children, and adolescents.
