Malaysian Prime Minister (PM) Anwar Ibrahim and his New Zealand counterpart Chris Luxon agreed on Monday on the importance of an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the implementation of a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine.
In a joint press conference in Kuala Lumpur, Luxon stated, "We are both strongly united in calling for an immediate ceasefire, bringing the parties to the negotiation table, and finding a two-state solution," as reported by the local news site "Malay Mail."
Ibrahim, on his part, noted that the prospects for a ceasefire currently seem unpromising, pointing to the lack of commitment from countries, particularly the United States, which has the influence to stop the conflict. He added, "The only hope is to engage the United States in taking a stronger stance."
