JAKARTA - The International Court (ICJ) made additional steps on Thursday, March 28 to stop genocide in Gaza. Malaysia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Wisma Putra) in Kuala Lumpur, said Malaysia welcomed ICJ's decision regarding the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide Crimes in Gaza.

Israel continues to carry out military operations throughout Gaza despite its adoption of resolution 2728 (20240) on March 25, 2024.

The military operation has resulted in more deaths from civilians, destroyed houses and infrastructure, causing Gazans to lose their homes.

Wisma Putra said Israel's inhumane actions were a violation of international law and various resolutions adopted by the UN Security Council, General Assembly, and Human Rights Council.

Quoted from ANTARA, Saturday, March 30, Malaysia urged the international community to pressure Israel to fulfill its obligations and enforce international law and stop Israel's continuing violence against Palestinians in Gaza who are currently suffering from hunger, malnutrition and illness.

Wisma Putra said Malaysia remains committed to fighting for the Palestinian issue and will continue efforts towards the formation of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state, based on the border before 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and for Palestine to be accepted as a full member of the United Nations.
