Malaysia strongly condemns Israel’s recent decision to construct more than 3,000 new settlement units in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem.
The continued expansion of the illegal settlements clearly involves the confiscation of more and more land and property which rightfully belong to the Palestinians. This is a flagrant violation of international law under the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, of 12 August 1949 as well as the United Nations Security Council resolutions, in particular Resolution 2334 (2016).
Malaysia says Israel must stop with its apartheid policies and reaffirm its ‘unwavering support for the Palestinian cause!
