KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 9 (NNN-BERNAMA) — Malaysia is hoping that\u00a0the new United States (US)\u00a0administration can bring changes to the Israel-Palestine issue, said Deputy Foreign Minister Datuk Kamarudin Jaffar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are monitoring the political development and changes in US administration especially on Palestine and other matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are hoping that there will be\u00a0changes…and we have also read previous statements, which we believe would bring a new light to the Palestine-Israel situation,\u201d he said during Question Time at the Parliament (Dewan Rakyat) sitting today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was replying to a supplementary question from Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan (BN-Pontian) on the Foreign Ministry\u2019s view on whether Palestine-Israel relations would improve under the new US president-elect Joe Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democrat Biden, who officially declared victory on Saturday, pledged to be a president who will work to mend the nation’s divisions and “make America respected around the world again”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Kamarudin said the Malaysian government was firm on always supporting the establishment of a sovereign Palestine country through the Two-State Solution on the 1967 borders with Jerusalem as the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) secretary-general Dr Yousef Al-Othaimeen also reiterated its strong support to Palestine and stressed that the cause of Palestine and Al-Quds was the core issue behind the formation of OIC and also its source of strength and unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn resolving the Palestine issue, he (Al-Othaimeen) also stressed that the OIC strongly holds to the international laws, Arab Peace Initiative and the Two-State Solution. The OIC has always supported the efforts to enable Palestinian people to achieve their legitimate aspiration and rights,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kamarudin said this when replying to the original question by Ahmad Tarmizi Sulaiman (PAS-Sik) on the government\u2019s proactive collaboration with international organisations such as OIC to oppose the unjust plan of the normalisation of the Israeli state that aims to recognise its occupation of Palestine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On some OIC countries which have diplomatic relations with Israel, he said it was the absolute right of a sovereign country and the Malaysian government practices a policy of non-interference in the domestic affairs of other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBased on this principle too, it will not affect Malaysia\u2019s good relations with other countries which have diplomatic relations with Israel,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
