Donald Trump's latest plan to depopulate Gaza of its Palestinian inhabitants and "redevelop" it must be condemned and stopped, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
The Bera MP, who is also a former premier, said when debating the Royal Address in the Dewan Rakyat on Thursday (Feb 13) that the United States president’s proposal was absurd and urged all Islamic nations and the world to unite.
Ismail Sabri also supported calls by several MPs for a special motion to be tabled in august House to discuss the matter.

00:00In 2025, the world witnessed yet another episode of controversy led by Donald Trump, the re-elected
00:12President of the United States.
00:15This time, he proposed to buy Gaza and send the people of Gaza to Egypt and Jordan as
00:24a final solution to the conflict in the Middle East.
00:28Egypt and Jordan have given a firm response to reject this unreasonable proposal.
00:37There is only one final solution, which is to return the rights of the Palestinian people
00:44in Gaza to live in peace and freedom in an independent country.
00:51The world must reject this inhumane proposal and do not allow it to happen.
01:01The leaders of all Muslim countries and the world must unite.
01:07The Palestinian issue is not a religious issue, but a humanitarian issue.
01:12I urge the Malaysian Organization for Islamic Cooperation, OIC, to hold a forum to discuss
01:23this issue, even though there are Muslim countries that have diplomatic relations with Israel.
01:30The United Nations and the UN must not allow this to happen because this proposal not only
01:41ignites global anger, but also threatens the stability of international geopolitics.
01:49The madness of Trump and his allies, Benjamin Netanyahu, must stop immediately.
02:00Their actions have broken the limits of humanity and international law.
02:08At the same time, I agree with the suggestions of several members of parliament
02:15to establish a special committee in this noble council,
02:22specifically to discuss the madness of Trump and the cruelty that still has no end for our brothers in Gaza.
02:34In addition, the presence of President Trump raises several questions to the world.
02:43The new foundations of the United States, especially the implementation of aggressive trade protection
02:51with high tariffs on imported products, will also have an impact on Malaysia.
03:01The economic war between the United States and China will certainly disrupt the global supply
03:09chain and international trade.
03:12It will directly impact Malaysia as a country that depends on an open economic system.
03:23International Monetary Fund, IMF, indicates that GDP growth has fallen by 3.8% this year
03:33compared to 4.5% in 2020-2024.
03:38I would like to ask, what action has been taken by Malaysia to balance the economic role
03:49of the two major powers because the two countries are the main trading partners of the country?
03:58At the same time, the merger of the two powers also involves security issues in the Southeast Asia region,
04:06especially the South China Sea.
04:10So, what action will be taken by Malaysia as the Asian leader to address the seven security issues in the region?
