Malaysian PM slams West’s hypocrisy over Israel’s ‘murderous rampage’ — RT World News

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim accused Western leaders of selectively applying international law when they condemn Russia's military operation in Ukraine but do not support a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Gaza.

In his speech at the Australian National University in Canberra on Thursday, Anwar said that the West had given back over six decades “white card” For Israel to continue its work “A deadly rampage against the Palestinians.”

“Unfortunately, the painful tragedy that continues to unfold in the Gaza Strip has exposed the selfish nature of the rules-based system that we hold in high esteem.” The Prime Minister argued.

The West's different and inconsistent reactions to the conflicts between Russia, Ukraine, Israel, and Gaza “Logic defying” Confirm. She was “Fool's errand” The belief that other countries, including the Indo-Pacific region, will not notice any inconsistencies in the application of international law.

Anwar also urged Australia to restore funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in Gaza.

Australia, Canada, Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, the Netherlands and other countries suspended their funding to UNRWA earlier this year after the agency began an investigation into allegations that 12 employees participated in Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7.

The conflict in Gaza escalated on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas movement launched a surprise cross-border attack on Israel, killing about 1,200 people and kidnapping about 250. In response, Israel launched large-scale air strikes and a ground operation in the Palestinian enclave. More than 30,000 people were killed in the attack, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, and the United Nations warned of an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, with severe shortages of food and medicine.
