Amid US President Donald Trump's ongoing bid to seek re-election in the November presidential polls, Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad today kept up Malaysia's criticisms of the global super power's backing of the Israeli cause.
Directly asked for his advice to Trump in light of the US-backed peace plan which has been largely rejected by Palestine and its allies, Mahathir (above) said, "Resign."
"I wish the Americans would have made a better decision.
"Here is a man who denigrated his role and his policies, trying to use foreign pressure to win elections," Mahathir said in reference to US backing of Israel in an ongoing struggle by Palestinians to seek recognition of their own land.
He earlier delivered a speech at the opening ceremony for the 3rd conference of the League of Parliamentarians for Al-Quds.
Al-Quds refers to a city in Jerusalem - a land considered holy to all three major Abrahamic religions - also claimed by both Israel and Palestine as their capital.
