Iran Press/ Asia: "Because of the lack of commitment of countries, particularly the US, which wields a lot of influence, there's a dire need for them to use that influence to stop the atrocities," Anwar Ibrahim said during a joint press conference in Kuala Lumpur with New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon.
Anwar's call for a stronger US response comes as Israel continues its attacks on Gaza following the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas.
Despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, Israeli attacks have escalated, resulting in the deaths of over 40,700 Palestinians, primarily women and children, and leaving more than 94,100 injured, according to local health sources.
Israel's ongoing war on Gaza has sparked international outrage, with growing calls for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in the besieged Palestinian enclave.
