Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim took a bold leap in a world where political leaders often navigate diplomacy with carefully measured steps.
During a joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin, Germany, Anwar’s passionate critique captivated audiences and sent ripples through the corridors of power worldwide.
His words were not just a rebuke of Scholz but a clarion call to the international community to wake up to the decades-long suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
“Why this hypocrisy?” Anwar questioned, standing firmly next to an undoubtedly uncomfortable Scholz.
His voice, filled with a mix of frustration and hope, underscored a critical point: the issue at hand is not merely about releasing hostages—a reference to current tensions—but about addressing the root causes of conflict that have plagued Gaza for over 60 years.

Anwar had met with Scholz to discuss enhancing bilateral business ties and other issues.
His critique comes at a time when Malaysia has been increasingly vocal about the plight of Palestinians, reflecting a broader sentiment within the country and among many nations globally that feel the West, particularly countries like Germany, has turned a blind eye to the atrocities committed against Palestinians.
From illegal settlements to daily aggressions by settlers and the systematic dispossession of Palestinians from their land and rights, these issues form the crux of Anwar’s argument against one-sided international policies.
The Prime Minister’s words resonate deeply with a global audience that has grown weary of diplomatic double standards.
In highlighting the “daily” continuation of settlers’ behaviour and the ongoing dispossession faced by Palestinians, Anwar challenges us all to reconsider where “we have thrown away our humanity.”
As of February, the death toll in Gaza has reached 29,092 since the start of the war. Around two-thirds of the victims are women and children.
The United Nations has called for an immediate ceasefire and an investigation into the killings.

A New Dawn in Global Discourse: Malaysia Leads with Conviction
Malaysia’s stance is emblematic of a broader shift in global dynamics.
Countries once sidelined in international discourse are now leading the conversation on human rights and justice.
Anwar’s rebuke is not just about Gaza; it reflects a world increasingly frustrated with the status quo—a world that demands action, integrity, and, above all, humanity in addressing global crises.
As this moment circulates across social media platforms and news outlets, it is a stark reminder of the power of speaking truth to power.
With his poignant critique, Anwar has redefined diplomatic engagement and inspired a new generation to stand up for what is just and right in the world.
Ultimately, Anwar’s message is clear: it’s time for the international community to look beyond temporary fixes and address the deep-seated issues that fuel conflict and suffering.
Only then can we hope to find lasting peace and justice for all.
