Over 16,000 Including Malaysian Prime Minister Support Palestinians in Protest Against Israel's Actions in Gaza

Thousands call for end to Israel-Gaza conflict in Malaysian rally, condemning Western support for Israel and backing a two-state solution.

More than 16,000 people, including Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, rallied in Kuala Lumpur to denounce Israel's actions in the Gaza strip and extend their support to Palestinians.
"This is not just about religion, it's about humanity," said a 20-year-old student attending the rally, expressing sentiments conveyed by many participants.
The rally was marked by speeches, chanting, the waving of Palestinian flags, and a general expression of unison from protesters ranging from students, professionals, religious leaders to politicians.
Taking a firm stance, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim voiced his criticisms of Western support towards Israel, stating that all Malaysia wants is for Palestinians to be treated as humans.
The rally comes amid an ongoing conflict in the Middle East, which has claimed at least 5,000 Palestinian lives due to Israeli strikes. The Malaysian government has always advocated for a two-state solution based on pre-1967 borders.
