MALAYSIA STRONGLY CONDEMNS ISRAEL’S MOTION TO ANNEX THE WEST BANK

Malaysia unreservedly condemns the decision of the Israeli Zionist regime’s Knesset (Parliament) on 23 July 2025, declaring the annexation of the occupied West Bank as part of Israel. The decision is a blatant violation of international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention. It further violates several UN Security Council resolutions namely, Resolutions 242(1967), 338(1973) and 2334(2016), that invalidate any attempts to legitimise the regime’s illegal occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT).

This decision is another provocation and clear manifestation of the regime’s blatant disregard of the Palestinian legitimate rights to self-determination, rights to return, and rights to resist occupation as enshrined in the UN Charter. The regime’s continuous aggression is emboldened by decades of impunity and lack of accountability for its actions in the OPT.

Malaysia calls on the international community and the United Nations to reject this motion unequivocally and take concrete steps to halt Israel’s systematic violation of international law. If allowed to manifest, the international community will be equally complicit for the gravest of war crimes this century committed by the Israeli Zionist regime against the Palestinian people.

Malaysia reaffirms its unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people and their inalienable right to self-determination. We remain steadfast in supporting the establishment of an independent and sovereign State of Palestine, based on pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, and its rightful membership in the United Nations.
