**Interview with Anwar Ibrahim on Malaysia’s Role in the UN Draft Resolution regarding Palestine**
**Interviewer**: Thank you for joining us today, Anwar. You mentioned Malaysia’s participation in the core group preparing a draft resolution for the International Court of Justice on Israel’s obligations toward UN activities. Why do you believe this step is crucial for the Palestinian cause?
**Anwar Ibrahim**: Thank you for having me. This initiative is essential as it underscores Malaysia’s commitment to advocating for Palestinian rights on an international stage. By seeking an advisory opinion from the ICJ, we aim to clarify the legal responsibilities of Israel regarding the humanitarian needs of Palestinians. It’s vital that the international community holds all parties accountable.
**Interviewer**: Some critics argue that initiatives like this may deepen divisions rather than foster dialogue. What’s your response to that viewpoint?
**Anwar Ibrahim**: While I understand those concerns, it’s important to acknowledge that dialogue is meaningless without accountability. This draft resolution is not about escalating tensions; it’s about ensuring that humanitarian aid can flow unimpeded, and that Palestinians receive the support they desperately need.
**Interviewer**: The ongoing conflict has seen significant casualties, as reported recently. How do you see Malaysia’s role evolving in the context of this humanitarian crisis?
**Anwar Ibrahim**: As a nation, we have the moral duty to advocate for peace and humanitarian support. The situation is dire, and if this draft resolution is adopted, it will enable UNRWA to continue its crucial work in providing aid across the region. Malaysia stands ready to work with international partners to alleviate suffering.
**Interviewer**: Considering the recent Israeli airstrikes on medical facilities, do you think international bodies, including the UN, are doing enough to protect humanitarian operations in conflict zones?
**Anwar Ibrahim**: Clearly, there is a gap in the effectiveness of international protections for humanitarian facilities. We must push for stronger mechanisms that can ensure the safety of these institutions. If we fail to protect hospitals and aid workers, we undermine the very principles of human rights and humanitarian law.
**Interviewer**: Lastly, how can the citizens of Malaysia and others who may feel passionate about this issue support this resolution?
**Anwar Ibrahim**: Public awareness and advocacy are key. Malaysians can voice their support through social media, engage in community discussions, and pressure our government to actively campaign for this resolution at the UN. Our collective voice can compel action.
**Interviewer**: Thank you, Anwar, for your insights. It seems this issue will continue to stir debate regarding the complexities of international relations and humanitarian needs.
As readers, what do you think about Malaysia’s role in pushing for this draft resolution? Do you believe it will foster diplomatic dialogue or create more tensions in an already volatile situation?
