PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia has called for an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon amid the rising death toll and widespread damage to infrastructure, warning that the continued conflict could lead to a wider regional escalation.
In a statement on Thursday (Sept 26), the Foreign Ministry expressed grave concern over the escalating conflict in the Middle East and strongly condemned the attacks by the Israeli regime in Lebanon, which have claimed the lives of over 600 people and caused significant damage to infrastructure.
