Kuala lumpur: 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 8 pm.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Anwar expressed his desire for the rally to unite Malaysians across all backgrounds in support of the Palestinian struggle and to honor the 23 Malaysian humanitarian activists who participated in the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) mission. In a message posted on Facebook, Anwar urged Malaysians to come together in solidarity to demand freedom, dignity, and sovereignty for Palestine.

Anwar further emphasized his confidence in the commitment of Malaysians to global justice and peace. He stated that within every Malaysian lies a deep resolve to champion these causes and expressed hope for a strong turnout at the rally.

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

Previously, 23 Malaysian activists under the GSF mission were detained by the Zionist regime's military after their ship was intercepted in the Mediterranean Sea and taken to the port of Ashdod, Israel. They were later released from Israeli custody and traveled from Ramon Airport, Israel, to Istanbul.

The activists, including singer Heliza Helmi and her sister Nur Hazwani Afiqah, were part of a larger mission comprising over 500 activists from 45 countries. The mission aimed to break the illegal Israeli blockade and deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, drawing significant global attention to the humanitarian crisis in the region.
