Interim Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad speaking during the ‘International Conference On The Question Of Palestine Southeast Asian Support For The Rights Of The Palestinian People’ programme at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre today. — BernamaTun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has called on Asean to extend a united front in backing the Palestinians.
“Our collective voice regionally should espouse more than just economic development. We should also extend a united front in supporting the rights of the Palestinians,“ he said in his keynote address at an international conference on Palestine here today. “We are duty bound and this responsibility is further amplified when powerful nations that had styled themselves as defenders of justice and freedom choose to be silent while the atrocities are being committed. And we cannot afford to practise double standards where gross injustice is concerned,“ he said.
“The unilateral announcement endorsed and instigated by the Israelis without any attempts for dialogue or negotiations with Palestinian representatives from the West Bank or Gaza is a mockery of international efforts to find a solution to the Palestinian-Israeli ongoing crisis,“ he said.
