Abstract

Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim met with a Hamas delegation during his visit to Qatar, expressing gratitude for Hamas' willingness to release hostages and accept a peace plan proposed by the Arab world. Anwar called on Israel to end its attacks on Palestinians, release prisoners, and agree to the plan. Anwar has been a strong advocate for the Palestinian cause in Southeast Asia, and Malaysian leaders have a history of friendly ties with Hamas. The Israeli military estimates that over 300,000 people have left Rafah since May 6, and over 1 million people are suffering from severe food insecurity. [Extracted from the article]
