Kuala lumpur: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is scheduled to engage with 34 Malaysian participants involved in the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) humanitarian mission to Gaza on Sunday. The interaction is aimed at offering support and encouragement.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar stated that the Prime Minister will receive updates on the mission during his visit to the Sumud Nusantara Command Centre at the Malaysian Islamic Consultative Council Central Warehouse. His presence is expected to uplift the spirits of Malaysian volunteers and those from other countries participating in the GSF.

Dr Mohd Na'im mentioned that Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had already extended his support, and he himself had conveyed words of encouragement. The Prime Minister's visit is anticipated to significantly motivate the 34 Malaysian volunteers.
