KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 7 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called on all Malaysians to come together for the Himpunan Solidariti Bersama Gaza rally at Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil, tomorrow at 8pm.

In a heartfelt message posted on Facebook, Anwar said the rally aims to unite Malaysians across all backgrounds in support of the Palestinian struggle, and to honour the 23 Malaysian humanitarian activists who participated in the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) mission.

“Let us come together in one voice, shoulder to shoulder, to demand freedom, dignity, and sovereignty for Palestine,” he wrote.

Anwar expressed confidence that the spirit of justice and peace beats strongly in the hearts of every Malaysian.


“I believe that within the pulse of every Malaysian lies a deep resolve to champion global justice and peace. See you tomorrow night, Insya-Allah,” he said.

Earlier, one of the activists, Muhammad Nadir Al-Nuri Kamaruzaman, who is also the CEO of Cinta Gaza Malaysia, posted on Facebook that they will be arriving home from Istanbul at 10 pm tonight and will attend the rally at Axiata Arena tomorrow.


Last Thursday, 23 Malaysian activists under the GSF mission were detained by the Zionist regime’s military after their ship was intercepted while in the waters of R3 Red Zone, in the Mediterranean Sea, and then taken to the port of Ashdod, Israel.

They were reportedly released from Israeli custody and departed from Ramon Airport, Israel, at 6.45 pm Malaysian time yesterday before arriving in Istanbul at 8.40 pm Malaysian time.

They are singer Heliza Helmi and her sister Nur Hazwani Afiqah, who were on board the ship, Hio; Farah Lee and Danish Nazran Murad (Grande Blu); singer Zizi Kirana (Huga); Musa Nuwayri, Iylia Balqis and Sul Aidil (Alma); Haikal Abdullah, Muaz Zainal, Zulfadhli Khiruddin and Rusydi Ramli (Sirius).

Also, Razali Awang aboard the Inana; influencer Nurul Hidayah Mohd Amin, or better known as Ardell Aryana (Mikeno); PU Rahmat, Norhelmi Ab Ghani, Mohd Asmawi Mukhtar, Norazman Ishak (Estrella); Zainal Rashid and Ustaz Muhammad Abdullah (Fair Lady), as well as Muhammad Hareez Adzrami, or better known as Haroqs, Muhd Haikal Luqman Zulkefli and Taufiq Mohd Razif (Free Willy).

The GSF mission, comprising over 500 activists from 45 countries, set sail for Gaza to break the illegal Israeli blockade and deliver humanitarian aid to the besieged Palestinian territory. The mission has drawn global attention and renewed calls for international action against the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. — Bernama
