JOHOR BARU: Johor Keadilan Youth expressed their disappointment over the recent hate speech and false accusations against Datuk Seri Dr. Wan Azizah.

The prime minister's wife attended a leaders' spouses gathering which included Israel's prime minister's wife Sara Netanyahu on the Sept 21 United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) held in United States.

In a statement today, the party's youth wing said the unfounded allegations linking Dr. Wan Azizah to Sara Netanyahu, is malicious.

Such gatherings were a tradition aimed at celebrating the spirit of democracy, where the spouses of leaders from various nations came together to build friendly relations and exchange views on current issues, the statement said.

It claimed the meet-up was manipulated and exploited to spread baseless hatred, alleging that Wan Azizah has a close relationship with Sara.

"This groundless hatred is intentionally disseminated with the aim of damaging the positive relationship between the Malaysian government and Palestine"

Turkey president Emine Erdogan's wife also attended the gathering.

Johor Keadilan Youth called on all parties to uphold a mature political discourse and refrain from exploiting sensitive issues for personal political interests.

The Malaysian government has contributed more than RM10 million to support humanitarian and welfare activities in Palestine.
