Malaysia, New Zealand PMs call for “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza

Kuala Lumpur (Quds News Network)- Malaysia Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and his New Zealand counterpart Chris Luxon said they were united in calling for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza and finding a two-state solution.

“We both are very united in calling for an immediate ceasefire, getting the parties around the negotiating table and finding a two-state solution,” Luxon said at a joint press conference on Monday.

Luxon is on a three-day visit to Malaysia.

Anwar said prospects for a ceasefire did not look encouraging at present, saying there was a lack of commitment from countries, particularly the United States, who could exert their influence to stop the war.

“The only hope is to engage the United States to take a stronger stance,” Anwar said.
