KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called on Malaysians to gather in solidarity with the people of Palestine at the 'Himpunan Pembebasan Palestin' rally to be held at Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil tomorrow.
"Insya-Allah, tomorrow we will express our solidarity, support, and continued backing for the people of Palestine.
"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!" he said in a Facebook post.
Scheduled to begin at 6pm, the gathering aims to send a message to the world that Malaysia condemns the assassination of Hamas Political Bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh and opposes the relentless cruelty of the Zionist regime.
