00:03Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has conveyed his condolences to Hamas leader Ismail

00:08Haniyeh on the loss of several of his family members who were killed in an airstrike by

00:13the Israeli regime on Wednesday. Anwar reached out to Ismail on Thursday afternoon after learning

00:19of the attack that killed Ismail's three sons, Hazem, Amir and Mohamed, along with four of his

00:25grandchildren. You know, I call because after reading the news and I think on behalf of my

00:31family and Malaysians, well, I can't express much more to add to what have been said. But please

00:44be assured, Ismail, that we feel the pain. And although I'm trying my level best, it's still

00:55too small to what you have personally endured. But on this case about the loss of your

01:05grandchildren, your three children, and I just beg for your patience and we feel your pain and

01:17pray to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that they will be your partners in Jannah, inshallah.

01:24He also said Malaysia condemned and criticized the continued Israeli aggression that is fueling

01:30the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people, that the Israeli attack proved that the

01:35Zionist regime did not desire a ceasefire as demanded by the United Nations Security Council,

01:41and will not comply with international law and regulations.

01:45Please be assured that we will continue to fight and defend the rights of the Palestinians

01:52in Gaza and condemn and reach all efforts possible against the cruelty and genocide

02:02committed by the Israeli Zionist forces.

02:06In a statement earlier, the foreign ministry said Malaysia harshly condemned the continued

02:11attacks by the Israeli regime targeting Palestinians, including airstrikes on the

02:16Shati refugee camp in northern Gaza, especially when Palestinians and Muslims around the world

02:21are celebrating Hari Raya Eid al-Fitr. The ministry added that Malaysia will continue

02:27to strongly oppose the violent actions and genocide orchestrated by Israel against the

02:32Palestinian people.
