Parliamentary Caucus on Palestine wants ambassadors of countries opposing UNGA resolution summoned

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Parliament Caucus for Palestine today said Malaysia must summon the ambassadors of nations that voted against the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) resolution during its recent 10th Emergency Special Session.

The head of the caucus, Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh said, it would be a firm move by Malaysia on the matter.

He said the caucus also urged Malaysia to support the United Arab Emirates' request for a resolution by the UN Security Council (UNSC) emergency meeting in relation to Israel's aggression on civilians and land incursion into Gaza.

"Resolutions adopted by the General Assembly on agenda items are considered to be recommendations and are not legally binding on the Member States.

"The only resolutions that have the potential to be legally binding are those that are adopted by the Security Council," he told a press conference held in Parliament today.

The caucus also recommended UN prepare for peacekeeping forces to halt Israel's genocide and attacks.

"We also encourage all parliamentarians globally to call for their governments to abide by UN's resolution and support the urges by this caucus."

The caucus also called on all Malaysians including political parties who love peace and humanity to focus on the issue of the worst humanitarian disaster and the crime of genocide by the Israeli regime.

"This is by demanding an end to Israel's extreme attacks on hospitals, children and women; demanding safe passage of humanitarian aid and avoiding escalation of war.

"Put aside the trivia and propaganda. Show the unity and solidarity of a cohesive Malaysia."

During the press conference, the caucus also cautioned everyone against using language and narratives that could be interpreted as an attempt to normalise Israel's atrocities.
