The ministry added that it “affirms that this assassination and the reckless Israeli behaviour of continuously targeti🐟ng civilians i𒉰n Gaza will lead to the region slipping into chaos and undermine the chances of peace”.
Maꦦlaysia too has condemned violence in the region and urged “all peace-loving nations tဣo join in denouncing such acts”.
