00:00Malaysian civil society groups held a demonstration in Kuala Lumpur on Friday
00:07to express strong opposition to what they described as forced warfare against Iran,
00:12while denouncing the ongoing violence in Gaza.
00:15The rally, organized by the Malaysian Consultative Council for Islamic Organizations, or MAPIM,
00:22aimed to deliver a memorandum to the U.S. Embassy outlining Malaysia's stance on the escalating crisis.
00:29Yes, the rally today is rallying our stance,
00:33rallying our stance on what is happening now.
00:37The war is forced to Iran, while the genocide is still in Gaza,
00:42and now we see the conspiracy of Israel and America and what is happening.
00:48This is known by all over the world.
00:51So, when the Prime Minister said that this is a rally by Israel,
00:56I think that this is a rally with the Prime Minister and the Rakyat Malaysia as well.
01:02So, the rallying our stance is to say this,
01:04and to convey a memorandum of our stance to the U.S. Embassy,
01:09which has been endorsed by hundreds of NGOs,
01:13which we have written by intellectuals,
01:15and media.
01:16That's what we gave our stance on.
01:18The memorandum submitted to the U.S. Embassy contained four primary demands,
01:22which include the immediate cessation of all American support and aid to Israel,
01:28enforcement of international law compliance by Israel,
01:42and recognition of Iran's actions as legitimate self-defense,
01:45contrasting this with Israel's claims of self-defense.
01:48Israel began attacking Iran last Friday,
01:51saying it wanted to prevent its longtime enemy from developing nuclear weapons.
01:55Iran, which says its nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes,
02:00retaliated with missile and drone strikes on Israel.
