KUALA LUMPUR: The Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, has expressed disappointment and condemned the recent attacks against worshippers and the incursions into the Al- Aqsa Mosque by Israeli forces.
Comptroller of the Royal Household Zahari Ariffin said the King described the act as heinous, extremely cruel and inhumane, especially since it took place during the holy month of Ramadan which should be a period of peace.
“His Majesty also described the actions of the Israeli army as not only unlawful but also a violation of human rights and the sanctity of the mosque,” Zahari said in a statement today.
Sultan Abdullah also said that Malaysia and its people were always in solidarity with Palestine.
The King called on Palestinians to continue to fight for justice and respect and to oppose any form of violence and tyranny.
Zahari said the King also expressed support for the government’s decision in calling on the international community, particularly the United Nations Security Council, to hold the Israeli regime accountable and responsible for the heinous crimes, and for them to immediately release all Palestinian detainees.
He said Sultan Abdullah wanted Malaysia to continue its long-held position that the Palestinians deserved their independent state based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in line with international laws.
Zahari said the King has also ordered the government to play a role in calling on the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to unite and help deal with the problems faced by Palestine.
Sultan Abdullah also called on all Malaysians, regardless of race and religion, to pray for the Palestinian people to be protected and their homeland freed from the occupation and oppression of the Israeli regime.
“His Majesty also called on all mosques, suraus and Muslims to hold ‘solat hajat’ and ‘doa selamat’ prayers, including in their respective homes, to seek mercy from Allah to protect the well-being of the Palestinian people from the evil intentions of the Israeli regime,” Zahari said. - FMT
