Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says Malaysia will also discuss raising the issue at an emergency meeting of the UN general assembly.
PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia is expected to announce a resolution on the issue of Jerusalem at the “Save Jerusalem” solidarity rally to be held at the Putra Mosque here on Friday, said Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
“Insyaallah (God willing), on the day of the rally, Prime Minister Najib Razak will announce it (the resolution),” he said.
He also said that Malaysia was expected to discuss with other countries the matter of raising the issue of Jerusalem at an emergency meeting of the United Nations General Assembly.
“But that will be discussed by Wisma Putra, especially the foreign minister,” he said to reporters after chairing a coordinating meeting on the “Save Jerusalem” solidarity rally.
The issue of Jerusalem cropped up after US President Donald Trump announced that the country now considered Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel.
Asked whether Malaysia would send troops to Palestine, Zahid replied: “As per the statement issued by Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein, no military forces will be sent to Palestine.
“However, if such a need arises, then appropriate measures will be taken in accordance with the suitability.”
Zahid, who is also home minister, said 250 NGOs including non-Muslim organisations and political parties, had confirmed their attendance at the rally.
He said the rally would begin with a special forum consisting of a six-member panel of invited representatives.
They are the Palestine ambassador to Malaysia Anwar H Al Agha; PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail; Amanah vice-president Mujahid Yusof Rawa; PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man; PPBM information chief Kamaruddin Mohd Noor and Islamiah Dakwah Foundation of Malaysia (Yadim) president Yusri Mohamad.
The moderator will be National Dakwah Council chairman Prof Mahmood Zuhdi Abd Majid, he said.
