KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 (Bernama) — Malaysia has prepared a draft resolution of the United Nations General Assembly (UN) which, among others, suggests that Israel be removed as a member of the organisation should there be a violation of laws, rules and decisions in issues involving Palestine.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim told the Dewan Rakyat today that the draft resolution is in the negotiation process and is expected to be tabled at the UN General Assembly for approval soon.
“On Oct 31, 2024, Malaysia joined the Core Group to prepare a draft resolution of the UN General Assembly requesting an Advisory Opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding Israel’s obligation to allow UN activities and presence.
“… agencies under the UN, international organisations and third countries in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT), which are implemented with the consent of the Palestinian government for the benefit of the Palestinian public in the region,” he said.
He said that once approved, the resolution is expected to be a legal basis for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to continue providing basic services, such as education, health treatment and humanitarian aid, which had benefited over six million Palestine refugees in Gaza, West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.
