Speaking in an interview with Mehr News Agency on the sidelines of the Tehran International Conference on Palestine, Muhammad Khalil bin Abdul Hadi, Deputy Member of the Terengganu State Executive Council (EXCO) of Malaysia stressed the need for unity of all Muslims in support of Palestinians.
"When we talk about the Palestinian issue, this common issue between Muslim countries and nations, whether you are Iranian, Malay, Arab, Sunni or Shia, we have to unite," he said.
Hailing Iran's policy of supporting oppressed Palestinian people, he noted, "Iran is a country that is consistent on its policy towards the Palestinian issue since the victory of Islamic Revolution in 1979."
He went on to say, "Since the revolution, we recognized Iran and we worked together towards this issue."
Commenting on the future of war between Palestinians and the Israeli regime, he said, "I think now what we see is the beginning the end of the Israeli regime and imperialism, the United States and the West."
"Because it is the first time that we see that all nations of the world, not only the Muslim nations, are against Zionism and the Americans' support for Israel," he underlined.
Responding to a question raised by other reporters about the measures taken by the Malaysian government about the issue of Gaza, he said, "At the moment the government and the people stand united with Palestinian people and against the Israeli occupation."
"We are consistent in supporting the Palestinian people to defend themselves from Zionism and Israel," he concluded.
