Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Anwar said his country is part of a core group drafting a resolution proposing Israel’s expulsion from the UN if it is found to have violated international laws in Palestine.

Anwar told the Malaysian parliament on Monday that the draft resolution, which is to be submitted to the UN General Assembly, calls for an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice over Israel’s obligations to allow the UN to operate in occupied Palestinian territory.

“The draft resolution is in the negotiation process and we will study if Israel can be removed as a member of [the] UN if there is violation of international laws,” he said.

“Malaysia will ensure that the agenda is heard and given attention so that the atrocities of the Israeli regime can be stopped, besides allowing critical aid to reach the Palestinian people at a time when the massacre continues to worsen,” he added.

The move comes as international condemnation grows over Israel’s decision to ban UNRWA from Israeli-controlled territory.
