  1. “The whole world is looking to and counting on the Security Council. The Council has failed Palestinians too many times and for far too long. It is time to deliver. It is time to rectify the historical misadventures of the great Powers that, for more than seven decades, have caused one of the bloodiest and most interminable killings in modern history. That is the clear message, not only from my fellow Malaysians but from all peace-loving citizens of the world.”

  2. “The only way to achieve a just and durable solution to the Palestinian question is by granting the Palestinian people their inalienable right to self-determination through the establishment of a free and independent State of Palestine based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. The Security Council must deliver on that responsibility and start taking all the necessary steps to make the two-State solution a reality. It is the solution that enjoys the overwhelming support of the international community and is endorsed by numerous United Nations resolutions. The cycle of violence that has long been inflicted upon generations of Palestinians must end. They must emerge from the present darkness into a better, brighter future. Too much time has been wasted, and too many innocent lives have been lost.”

  3. “Malaysia calls on the Security Council to heed the resounding cry of the concerned citizens of the world who have been demanding a ceasefire, as well as the unequivocal calls repeatedly made by the majority of the States Members of the United Nations, United Nations agencies and the Secretary-General. Our focus must be to relieve the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. Unhindered humanitarian access and the supply of humanitarian aid, including such life-saving essentials as food, water, medicine and fuel, up to scale must be guaranteed. Malaysia rejects the forced displacement of Palestinians, which is a clear violation of international law. Malaysia is deeply concerned by Israel’s intention to unilaterally established so-called safe zones, which has been rejected by the United Nations and other humanitarian agencies.”

  4. “It was agreed only after Gaza had become a hell on Earth and graveyard for children, half of the homes and buildings in Gaza had been reduced to rubble and more than 1 million residents had been forcibly displaced. The pause was agreed only after more than 100 United Nations staff members had lost their lives, making Gaza the deadliest conflict ever for United Nations employees. We must not let the killing of innocent lives continue. No more children must die, be maimed or become orphaned. We must stop the war and never allow anyone’s hand to be stained complicitly and directly with the blood of the innocent.”

  5. “The resolution was a breakthrough outlining the urgently needed temporary measures to address the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. All parties must respect and implement the resolution in full. We therefore welcome the humanitarian pause, which began on 21 November and which was extended. But we must note that that is not the solution. That must be the beginning of a lasting peace process and a permanent ceasefire. We regret that it took about seven weeks before the humanitarian pause was agreed. It is outrageous that about 15,000 innocent civilians had to die, including about 6,000 children, before the deal for the humanitarian pause was reached.”

  6. “Malaysia expresses its appreciation to China as President of the Security Council for convening this important debate. I am here bringing with me the message from peace-loving Malaysians, under the leadership of Prime Minister Mr. Anwar Ibrahim, who have been deeply concerned about and enormously distressed by the 7 October attack against civilians and the subsequent vengeful and brutal slaughter of innocent lives in Gaza. The heart-wrenching images of children killed, maimed and shell-shocked in the aftermath of Israel’s indiscriminate shelling of their homes, schools and hospital have shaken our human sensibilities to the core. Malaysia welcomes the adoption of resolution 2712 (2023) by the Security Council. We commend Council members on their wisdom to reach a compromise.”
