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.
At least seven Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip since last night, as Israel continues to violate Trump’s so-called ceasefire agreement — killing hundreds of civilians and blocking desperately needed aid from entering the enclave.
British Health Secretary Wes Streeting privately said in 2025 that Israel was “committing war crimes before our eyes” and carrying out “ethnic cleansing” in the Gaza Strip, and that he supported imposing sanctions on Israel.
