Anwar: Middle East like 'morgue', no immediate political solution in sight

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim described the situation in the Middle East at the moment as resembling a morgue following the absence of a diplomatic solution to the ongoing conflict and atrocities in several parts of the Middle East.

He wondered which Middle East country would be targeted by Israel next, since the regime had already attacked the capital of Lebanon, Beirut and previously the area in southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.

“So far (the situation in the Middle East) has been likened to a morgue because we insist that the attack on the Gaza Strip be stopped, (but) the attack continues, and even expanded to Lebanon. After this what else?” the prime minister said when asked if there is a diplomatic solution to the crisis in the Middle East.

The conflict that has claimed thousands of victims, including children, needs a concerted effort and commitment from Arab nations, Islamic countries and the United Nations, he said.

Israel, according to the prime minister, continues to persist in continuing its atrocities, perhaps because they still depend on the support of the United States and its allies.

The situation in the Middle East escalated when Iran launched dozens of missiles against Israel two days ago, which caused the entire region to plunge into war.
