Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim welcomed a high-powered delegation from the Palestine led by Walid al-Moudi, the senior member of Hamas' political bureau, and Ahmad Al-Kurd, the former Palestine minister for social affairs to his PKR party headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.
The 64-year-old Anwar, expected to wrest the federal government from embattled Prime Minister Najib Razak's Umno-BN coalition, vowed to support the Palestine's struggle for a just existence, slamming the United States and Israel for continuing to wage their politics of divisiveness in the region.
"When I was still a student leader in 1973, I led a student a demonstration against the US embassy and Israel for their gross unfairness in their Middle East policy. It was then the biggest demonstration in the city of Kuala Lumpur," Anwar told a joint press conference with the Palestinian delegation on Friday.
"I can promise the new PR government will be more solid and clear in its support for the Palestinians, in their just cause and struggle."
