 “The contribution from the government to the people of Palestine has been channeled through and will be used by Mercy Malaysia to deliver relief supplies.

“I am also writing to various world leaders to request them to use their good officers and personal influence to convince Israeli leaders to stop the bombardment of Gaza and agree to a ceasefire.

“Malaysia continue to hold the view that durable peace and stability for Gaza can only be secured through peaceful negotiations,” he said in a statement Monday.

Abdullah said Malaysia and its people was gravely concerned over Israel’s continuous bombardment of Gaza without any regard for human lives or the world community’s opinion.

He said Israel was meting out a systematic form of collective punishment upon Gaza with no consideration for innocent people or the destruction of properties.

“These actions are totally immoral and in clear violation of international law. They should be condemned by all people of conscience,” he said.

The Prime Minister added that the United Nations Security Council had a moral duty to stop the atrocities committed by Israel and demand a ceasefire by all sides, adding the council’s failure to do so would escalate the crisis, endanger Palestinian unity and threatened peace and security of the wider Middle East.

He said that any ground offensive into Gaza by Israel was an act of total war that the international community should not tolerate.

“I note that the UN security council continues to fail to act on this critical matter. I therefore urge that an emergency special session of the United Nations General Assembly be convened to adopt a “Uniting for Peace” resolution,” he said.
