Kuala Lumpur: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has today highlighted the contrast in how the international community responded to calamities in Palestine and Ukraine.
In his speech during the Dewan Rakyat's debate on the Palestine-Israel crisis, Zahid pointed to how swiftly the Western powers extended support to Kiev which faced invasion by Russia but not towards the Palestinians who are facing oppression from Israel.“Why are there two different approaches? For instance, in the Ukraine crisis, the Western powers swiftly provided support to Kiev. Unfortunately, when it comes to Palestine, it is entirely disregarded.

Zahid added the foreign policy position of the current administration in the Palestine-Israel conflict is clear and unchanged, with the struggle to free Palestinian land and the rights of the Palestinian people as one of its priorities.On Sunday, Israel declared war on the Palestinian militant group Hamas after the latter launched a surprise assault from Gaza, amid a death toll which has surged above 1,100.
UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said Israeli air attacks and shelling targeting houses and apartment buildings have displaced some 123,538 Palestinians in Gaza
