: The Malaysian Armed Forces will be ready in the event of any decision or mandate to be deployed as a peacekeeping force to Palestine, says Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad HasanHe said this included the country's MALBATT peacekeeping unit under the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon , if required urgently, including for the purpose of evacuating Malaysians in affected areas.
Mohamad said any decision to unilaterally send troops to Palestine required careful assessment from various parties, including the neighboring countries in the troubled region. Mohamad said that until now, Malaysia had always been committed to providing support to achieve universal peace under the UN banner and this had been proven through its involvement in 37 missions, either as an observer or peacekeeping force.
In other developments, Mohamad said the three branches of the MAF - the Army, Navy and Air Force - would begin the process of acquiring new assets.
