MALAYSIA CONDEMNS IN THE STRONGEST TERMS ISRAEL'S ILLEGAL

REGISTRATION OF LANDS IN THE OCCUPIED WEST BANK

Malaysia condemns in the strongest terms the Israeli Zionist regime's illegal registration of lands in the Occupied West Bank as "state land". The registration is a brazen attempt to legitimise under Israeli law, actions that clearly constitute illegal settlements expansion, consolidating the unlawful occupation of the Palestinian Territory.

Unseen since 1967, this action seizes Palestinian land, advances annexation, and flagrantly violates international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention and United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334. The action entrenches the occupation, confiscates Palestinian land, and asserts control over Palestinian territory, all of which are unlawful under the international law, and undermine the rights of the Palestinian people and any prospects for a just two-state solution.

Malaysia calls on the international community to firmly reject these illegal measures, hold Israel accountable, and ensure that the rights of the Palestinian people are respected, including their inalienable right to their land, which is being systematically encroached upon and appropriated through illegal settlements and registration measures. Malaysia reaffirms its unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people in their legitimate struggle for freedom, justice, and statehood, based on the pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
