Former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad has arrived at the Putrajaya mosque here to attend the "Save Jerusalem" solidarity rally.
At about 12.55pm, Mahathir stepped out of his car and was greeted by well-wishers who rushed to shake his hand.
Ahead of the call for Friday prayers, a forum was also held inside the mosque to discuss the issue which was sparked by US president Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the new capital of Israel.
Among others seen include Umno leaders Johari Abdul Ghani, Abdul Azeez Rahim and Puad Zarkashi. Also present onstage was Palestine Ambassador to Malaysia, Anwar Al Agha.
Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is expected to announce a resolution on the issue of Jerusalem in his speech here later this afternoon.
The Save Jerusalem rally, touted as a uniting platform for all present, was held inside the mosque compound immediately after the end of Friday prayers.
"Today we gather as one, we gather to tell the US, to tell Israel, we are together to one day free Baitulmaqdis," said Khalil in his speech, to cries of "Save Baitulmaqdis".- Mkini
