: Despite Hamas being shunned by the United States and much of the West, Malaysia has kept its options open with the group on the interest of the Palestinian people and their right to establish their homeland based on the pre-1967 boundaries.
“Malaysia’s unwavering support for the Palestinian cause during this critical time is noted. Notably, Datuk Seri Anwar took a bold public stand by personally contacting Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas,” he said when contacted by BERNAMA. “These two entities are pivotal, whether working towards a one-state or two-state solution,” he added.
On the future of Gaza after the conflict, the geostrategist predicts a further divided Gaza: one half under Israeli jurisdiction and the other, southern Gaza, under Hamas.
