Humanitarian Initiative for Palestine Launched in Kuala Lumpur
Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohamad Bin Hasan officiated at a launching ceremony at the Foreign Ministry in the capital Kuala Lumpur.

The Israeli regime, flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire, has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza since an Oct. 7, 2023 retaliatory attack by the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
