Malaysia Committed to Engage Muslim Leaders via OIC to Condemn Israel’s Aggression - PM Anwar

PUTRAJAYA (Malaysia), Sept 10 (Bernama) -- Malaysia stands ready to engage Islamic world leaders through the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to strongly condemn Israel’s escalating violence and human rights violations, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Wednesday.

He said that he would personally take the initiative to contact several key Muslim leaders, including the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, regarding the matter.

“If necessary, I will reach out to the Emir of Qatar, President Erdogan, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and other Muslim leaders, because Israel’s conduct has gone far beyond the limits of decency,” Anwar told reporters after officiating the 9th International Conference on Social Sciences and Humanities (ICOSH 2025) here.

His remarks come in the wake of Israel’s latest airstrike in Doha, Qatar, which reportedly targeted a meeting of Hamas political leaders discussing a United States-backed ceasefire proposal for Gaza.

The strike, which took place in the Leqtaifiya district and reportedly involved around 15 Israeli fighter jets, killed six individuals, including the son of senior Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya, his office director, and a Qatari security officer. Top Hamas leaders reportedly survived the attack.
