Religious Affairs Minister Zulkifli Hasan has condemned the entry of illegal Israeli settlers into the Al-Aqsa Mosque Complex and the Ibrahimi Mosque, calling the incursions a clear breach of international law. His statement was issued in Kuala Lumpur on 1 October.
He described the Al-Aqsa compound as a line that Muslims will not accept being crossed, and said he backs the position already taken by Wisma Putra, Malaysia's foreign ministry. He urged the international community to act against what he called provocations and reaffirmed Malaysia's support for the Palestinian struggle for sovereignty.
He also called on Muslims to rally in defence of the mosque and to voice their protest, though the statement did not announce any specific government measure or timetable for action.
Malaysia has long taken a firm public stance on Palestine, and statements like this tend to be echoed by religious bodies and civil society groups. For readers following the issue, the useful next steps are to read the foreign ministry's own statement, watch for any joint declaration among Muslim-majority countries and be careful about unverified videos that circulate widely whenever tension rises in the region.
