Malaysia and Indonesia reaffirmed their support for Palestine and the Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem during the Ministerial Meeting in Support of Jerusalem and Its Holy Sites held in the Jordanian capital Amman earlier this week, Anadolu reports. Kuala Lumpur backed Jordan’s Hashemite Custodianship, and reiterated support for an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital. “Indonesia urged the international community to abandon silence over Israel’s violations and not allow itself to become divided in responding to them,” Deputy Foreign Minister Arrmanatha Nasir said. Jakarta called for broader recognition of Palestine, stronger protection of the Al Aqsa Mosque, support for Gaza’s reconstruction, Palestinian reconciliation and the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), while also reaffirming support for Jordan’s Hashemite Custodianship.
