Palestine Embassy Condemns Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
KUALA LUMPUR, June 21 (Bernama) -- The Palestine Embassy in Malaysia has condemned the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), describing the aid distribution initiative as a veiled operation that further endangered innocent aid seekers in the enclave.
First Secretary of Embassy Amjad Khamaysa said the US and Israel-backed entity undermined genuine humanitarian efforts and worsen the oppression of Palestinians suffering under the regime's brutality.
"They (Israel) don't allow humanitarian access to Gaza and they are establishing this Gaza Humanitarian institution. Unfortunately, these distribution centres are used to hunt Palestinians.

'They (Palestinians) come to get aid and they are killed (by Israel) there,' he told Bernama at the 'More Than A War, It's Genocide' forum, organised by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) here, Saturday.
He also condemned the regime's banning of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) from carrying out its humanitarian mission in Gaza.
Since May 7, Israel has been bypassing UN and international relief organisations by distributing limited aid through the GHF, which was rejected by the UN.
According to Anadolu Ajansi, Palestinians seeking aid through this mechanism have become daily targets of Israeli fire, resulting in many casualties.
Amjad said the embassy will continue to engage with the public to raise awareness and solidarity against the regime's ongoing genocide on Palestine and its people through various channels, including through cooperation with Malaysian civil societies and the digital sphere.
Over 55,000 people in Gaza – mostly women and children – have been killed since Israel launched its aggression on October 7, 2023.

US, Israel crossed ‘big red line', Iran FM says as heads to Moscow
ISTANBUL: The United States and Israel crossed a major red line in attacking Iran's nuclear facilities, Iran's top diplomat warned Sunday, saying he was heading to Russia for talks with President Vladimir Putin. 'They crossed a very big red line by attacking (Iran's) nuclear facilities,' Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on the sidelines of a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Istanbul. He was speaking just hours after President Donald Trump said US warplanes struck three Iranian nuclear sites, nine days into an Israeli bombing campaign targeting its nuclear facilities. 'The most dangerous one happened only last night,' Araghchi said, while acknowledging he did not know the full extent of the damage done in the strikes, including one at the underground uranium enrichment facility at Fordo. 'I still do not have exact information about the level of damages, but I don't think it matters... Last night's attack was a grave crime,' he said. 'Through this action, the United States has dealt a serious blow to international peace and security,' he said, vowing that Iran would defend itself 'by all means necessary against... US military aggression'. Araghchi said he would head to Moscow on Sunday and hold talks with Putin on Monday morning. 'I'm going to Moscow this afternoon' to hold 'serious consultations with the Russian president tomorrow', he said. After the strikes, Trump said Iran 'must now agree to end this war'. But Araghchi said any demand to return to negotiations was 'irrelevant'. 'The world must not forget that it was the United States which -- in the midst of a process to forge a diplomatic outcome -- betrayed diplomacy by supporting the genocidal Israeli regime's launch of an illegal war of aggression on the Iranian nation,' he said. 'So we were in diplomacy, but we were attacked... They have proved that they are not men of diplomacy, and they only understand the language of threat and force.' Turkey, which was hosting the weekend OIC summit, warned that the strikes risked escalating the Iran-Israel conflict to a global level that could have 'catastrophic' consequences. 'The ongoing developments could cause the regional conflict to escalate to a global level. We do not want this catastrophic scenario to come to life,' the foreign ministry said in a statement.

Iran condemns US strikes, seeks urgent UN action
ANKARA: Iran condemned on Sunday United States (US) airstrikes on three nuclear sites and called on the United Nations Security Council to act, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported. In a statement, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said Iran reserves the right to resist 'US aggression and the crimes committed by this rogue regime' in defence of its national security following the US attacks. It called on the UN member states to condemn the US attack and urged restraint to avoid further escalation, warning that the situation could have far-reaching impacts on regional and global stability. 'The United States, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, has committed a grave violation of the UN Charter, international law and the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty) by attacking Iran's peaceful nuclear installations,' Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a statement. 'The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences. Each and every member of the UN must be alarmed over this extremely dangerous, lawless and criminal behaviour,' he said. Highlighting Iran's right to respond, Araghchi emphasised, 'In accordance with the UN Charter and its provisions allowing a legitimate response in self-defence, Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interests, and people.' Iran's delegation to the United Nations also formally called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council on Sunday to discuss the US strikes. In a letter submitted to the Council carried by Fars News Agency, the Iranian delegation urged 'immediate action and the adoption of necessary measures under the framework of the United Nations Charter.' The letter emphasised the need to hold 'the perpetrators of these heinous crimes fully accountable' to ensure that such acts do not go unpunished. US President Donald Trump said early on Sunday that his forces bombed three Iranian nuclear sites in Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. The attacks came as the latest escalation in a US-backed Israeli military assault on Iran since June 13, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory attacks on Israel. Meanwhile, in Iran, 430 people have been killed and more than 3,500 wounded in the Israeli assault, according to the Iranian Health Ministry.
