PM Anwar expresses concern over Middle East conflict, condemns Houthi attacks

Malaysia is deeply concerned about the escalating Middle East conflict and Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is engaging with regional leaders.

Malaysia firmly condemns attacks on civilians and infrastructure by the Houthi movement in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states.

The Prime Minister emphasises Malaysia's commitment to diplomatic efforts to address the crisis and ensure safe maritime navigation.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 21 — Malaysia continues to view with great concern the dangerous escalation of conflict unfolding across the Middle East, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Anwar said that he has been in close contact with key regional leaders, including Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed Salman and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Abdulrahman Al Thani.

According to him, these high-level discussions reflect the utmost gravity with which Malaysia regards the crisis and the urgent need to prevent it from widening further.

“Malaysia’s position is clear as we remain steadfast in our call for peace and justice for the Palestinian people, our unequivocal condemnation of the genocide in Gaza and our opposition to the indiscriminate bombing of southern Lebanon,” he said in a post on X today.

He emphasised that this same moral conviction compels Malaysia to speak out with equal firmness whenever innocent civilians are targeted anywhere else.

Consequently, Malaysia reiterates its strong condemnation of attacks by the Houthi movement against civilians and critical civilian infrastructure, such as airports and energy installations in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Cooperation Council states.

He noted that the recent strike on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which tragically claimed the lives of innocent civilians, including pilgrims, served as a sobering reminder of the devastating human toll of such violence.

The Prime Minister clarified that Malaysia’s firm stance targets those responsible for the aggression rather than the resilient people of Yemen, who have suffered years of hardship and deserve a lasting political settlement.

Furthermore, he stressed that maintaining the security of the Middle East’s vital sea lanes is paramount for a trading nation like Malaysia.

“Malaysia will continue to support all diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the crisis and safeguard the freedom of navigation,” he said. — Bernama

马来西亚对中东冲突升级深表关切，总理安瓦尔·易卜拉欣正在与地区领导人进行磋商。

马来西亚强烈谴责胡塞武装在沙特阿拉伯和其他海湾国家对平民和基础设施发动的袭击。

总理强调马来西亚致力于通过外交努力解决危机，并确保海上航行安全。

吉隆坡，10月21日讯——马来西亚总理拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣表示，马来西亚继续高度关注中东地区冲突危险升级的局面。

安瓦尔表示，他一直与包括沙特阿拉伯王储穆罕默德·萨勒曼和卡塔尔首相谢赫·穆罕默德·阿卜杜勒拉赫曼·阿勒萨尼在内的重要地区领导人保持密切联系。

他表示，这些高层讨论反映了马来西亚对这场危机的高度重视，以及防止危机进一步扩大的迫切需要。

“马来西亚的立场很明确，我们始终坚定地呼吁巴勒斯坦人民享有和平与正义，毫不含糊地谴责加沙的种族灭绝，并反对对黎巴嫩南部进行无差别轰炸，”他今天在X上发帖说。

他强调，正是出于同样的道德信念，马来西亚才会在其他任何地方无辜平民遭到袭击时，以同样的坚定立场发声。

因此，马来西亚重申强烈谴责胡塞运动对沙特阿拉伯和其他海湾合作委员会成员国的平民和重要民用基础设施（如机场和能源设施）发动的袭击。

他指出，最近发生在利雅得哈立德国王国际机场的袭击事件，不幸夺去了包括朝圣者在内的无辜平民的生命，这令人警醒地提醒人们，此类暴力行为会造成多么惨重的人员伤亡。

总理澄清说，马来西亚的强硬立场针对的是那些对侵略行为负有责任的人，而不是遭受多年苦难、理应获得持久政治解决的坚韧不拔的也门人民。

此外，他还强调，对于马来西亚这样的贸易大国来说，维护中东重要海上航道的安全至关重要。

他说：“马来西亚将继续支持一切旨在缓和危机、维护航行自由的外交努力。”——马新社
