Palestinians want Dr M as peacemaker
KUALA LUMPUR: Palestinian politicians want former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Moha_mad as a peacemaker in their strife-torn land. Putera 1Malaysia Club chairman Datuk Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim said he had met Dr Mahathir at Perdana Global Peace Organisation in Yayasan Bukhari to pass him a letter from leaders in Gaza and Palestine.
“Various political parties in Palestine have responded well and shown interest to unite under one banner like the 1Malaysia concept,” he told reporters here yesterday. Earlier, Viva Palestina Malaysia launched a fund-raising drive to finance aid shipment for five vehicles to be part of a convoy of over 100 vehicles carrying humanitarian supplies to Gaza.
