PUTRAJAYA:
Malaysia has condemned “in the strongest terms” the latest Israeli attacks on Gaza which resulted in the loss of lives of Palestinian civilians, including children.

In a statement today, foreign minister Saifuddin Abdullah said Malaysia urged the international community to urgently exert pressure on Israel to cease aggressions against Palestinians.

“The international community must censure Israel over its selfish provocative assaults and apartheid policy against Palestinians of all faiths in their own land. There should not be any double standard in addressing conflicts,” he said.

At least 11 Palestinians, including children, were killed while 80 others were injured during air strikes launched by Israeli army in the Gaza Strip on Friday.
