JAKARTA - Malaysia strongly condemns Israel's decision to expand its control over the occupied West Bank, as well as facilitating the acquisition of land by settlers.

The Malaysian Foreign Ministry stated that Israel's actions were a further expansion of illegal settlements and annexation.

Malaysia considers this to be a blatant violation of international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention, Security Council and General Assembly resolutions of the United Nations, as well as the principles of the UN Charter.

"This decision will further strengthen the illegal occupation with serious implications for the rights of the Palestinian people and the prospects for a two-state solution," the Malaysian Foreign Ministry said in a statement quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, February 10.

Malaysia calls on the international community to reject such actions and take effective measures to prevent further land grabs in Palestine.

Malaysia reaffirms its unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people in their legitimate struggle to achieve freedom, justice, and realize an independent and sovereign State of Palestine, based on the pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
