Malaysia condemns Israel's West Bank annexation motion
PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia has issued a firm condemnation of Israel's recent motion to annex the occupied West Bank, denouncing it as a provocative act that disregards Palestinian rights. The Foreign Ministry stated that the decision by the Israeli Knesset on July 23 breaches international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention. The ministry highlighted that the motion violates key United Nations Security Council resolutions, including Resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), and 2334 (2016), which reject any attempts to legitimise Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. 'This decision is another provocation and clear manifestation of the regime's blatant disregard for Palestinian rights to self-determination, return, and resistance against occupation as guaranteed by the UN Charter,' the statement read. Malaysia accused Israel of acting with impunity due to decades of unchecked aggression in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). The ministry urged the international community and the UN to take decisive action against Israel's systematic violations of international law. 'If this motion proceeds, the world will be complicit in one of the gravest war crimes of this century,' the statement warned. Reaffirming its support for Palestine, Malaysia called for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and full UN membership. The Israeli Knesset passed the motion with a 71-13 vote on Wednesday, according to international reports. - Bernama

Egypt, 10 Nations Strongly Condemn Israeli Sovereignty Vote Over Occupied West Bank
H-Tayea Egypt, alongside ten other Arab and Islamic nations and major regional organizations, has issued a strong condemnation of the Israeli Knesset's recent approval of a declaration calling for the imposition of so-called 'Israeli sovereignty' over the occupied West Bank. The statement denounces the move as a blatant violation of international law and a clear breach of multiple UN Security Council resolutions, particularly Resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), and 2334 (2016), all of which reject any attempts to legitimize occupation or settlement activity on Palestinian land. Joining Egypt in the joint declaration are the Kingdom of Bahrain, Republic of Indonesia, Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Federal Republic of Nigeria, State of Palestine, State of Qatar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Republic of Türkiye, United Arab Emirates, the League of Arab States, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. The statement affirms that Israel holds no sovereignty over any part of the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, which remains legally and historically an inseparable part of Palestine. It stresses that Israel's unilateral declaration has no legal validity and cannot alter the internationally recognized status of these lands. The signatories warn that this latest Israeli action will only intensify regional instability, especially as it comes amid ongoing military aggression in Gaza and a rapidly worsening humanitarian disaster in the Strip. The group urged the international community, including the UN Security Council and all responsible actors, to take urgent action to stop Israel's illegal policies, which aim to impose realities on the ground by force. These efforts, they said, are undermining prospects for peace and threatening to eliminate the possibility of a two-state solution altogether. The statement concluded with a renewed commitment to the two-state solution based on international law and the Arab Peace Initiative, reaffirming the goal of establishing an independent and sovereign Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

AL chief Aboul-Gheit condemns Knesset vote on bill imposing 'Israeli sovereignty' over West Bank - Foreign Affairs
Ahmed Aboul-Gheit, Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, condemned in the strongest terms the Knesset's vote yesterday on a bill imposing Israeli control over the West Bank, occupied in 1967. He stated that the bill represents a link in an ongoing plan to impose a fait accompli by perpetuating the occupation and annexing the occupied Palestinian territory. Jamal Rushdi, the Secretary-General's official spokesman, quoted Aboul Gheit as affirming that the occupation's attempts to change the legal status of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, are unacceptable and have no legal basis. The West Bank is occupied territory under international law as recognized by the United Nations, and Knesset laws will not change this fact, said Aboul-Gheit. Aboul Gheit called on the international community to firmly confront such legally invalid and morally reprehensible measures, stressing the need to adhere to Security Council resolutions, most notably Resolutions 242 (1967) and 2234 (2016), as a basis for ending the occupation, in the face of Israel's plans to normalize the legal status of occupation by annexing the West Bank. He added that extremist settlements and religious movements within Israel would lead the entire region to catastrophic religious confrontations if they are not confronted and their obsessive ambitions are not challenged. Earlier on Thursday, Egypt, along with a group of Arab and Islamic nations, strongly condemned the Israeli Knesset's approval of the declaration calling for the imposition of the so-called 'Israeli sovereignty' over the occupied West Bank.
