KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians have been urged to continue speaking out for the cause of Palestinians amid the current conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Acting Muda president Amira Aisya Abd Aziz said those who truly support the Palestinians must not let up in gathering in solidarity with them, or speaking up on social media.
“We must pile on the pressure on the major countries. We must keep the pressure on the United States,” she said at a pro-Palestine rally outside the US embassy in Kuala Lumpur.
“Tonight, those who are parents get to be with their children. Let’s not forget that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians can no longer be with their families. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinian parents will not get to see their children grow up,” she said.
Amira said US president Joe Biden and Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu could no longer silence the world. “The world knows the truth and stands with Palestine,” she said, drawing cheers from the crowd at a six-day gathering.
Other political figures who also addressed the crowd at the gathering include Amanah president Mohamad Sabu, PKR vice-president Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad and DAP central executive committee member Sheikh Umar Bagharib Ali. - FMT
