Alhamdulillah, Naib Presiden ABIM, Ahmad Fahmi Mohd Samsuddin bersama pimpinan ABIM telah menyerahkan memorandum bantahan di Kedutaan Amerika Syarikat, Kuala Lumpur berkait serangan kejam ke atas para pelarian Palestin yang tidak berdosa, di Jenin, Palestin oleh rejim Zionis.
ABIM mengecam sekeras-kerasnya serangan udara dan darat yang dilakukan oleh rejim Zionis Israel, sehingga membunuh sekurang-kurangnya 11 orang Palestin di Jenin dan seorang di Ramallah, dalam operasi ketenteraan terbesar di Jenin, sejak 20 tahun yang lalu.
Media antarabangsa melaporkan kira-kira 3,000 orang pelarian terpaksa menyelamatkan diri dari Kem Pelarian Jenin akibat serangan yang zalim ini.
ABIM menggesa masyarakat antarabangsa untuk tidak memejamkan mata terhadap kekejaman yang nyata ini.
ABIM juga menyeru kesemua umat Islam untuk menggerakkan solat hajat secara serentak seluruh negara selepas solat Jumaat, dan mendoakan kesejahteraan umat Palestin yang ditekan dengan segala bentuk penindasan. - KitaReporters/Kenyataan Media
MEMORANDUM TO THE EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN MALAYSIA
PROTESTING THE INCURSION OF THE ISRAELI FORCES IN JENIN

HIS EXCELLENCY BRIAN D. MCFEETERS
The U.S. Ambassador to Malaysia
His Excellency,
SUBJECT: MEMORANDUM TO PROTEST THE INCURSION OF THE ISRAELI FORCES IN JENIN, PALESTINE
We the Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia (ABIM) together with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), strongly condemn the Israeli occupation’s attack on Jenin, which has resulted in the loss of more than ten Palestinian lives and left dozens injured so far. The re emergence of air attacks reminiscent of the second intifada is profoundly alarming and represents a significant escalation of violence.
Overnight 3,000 Palestinians reportedly fled Jenin camp after a wave of deadly air strikes on the camp. The scale of the Israeli Security Forces’ ongoing operation in Jenin, including the use of repeated airstrikes, along with the destruction of property, raises a host of serious issues with respect to international human rights norms and standards, including protecting and respecting the right to life.
The targeting of civilians and the disproportionate use of force in Jenin is a grave violation of human rights and international law. We express our heartfelt condolences to the victims’ families and stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people during this tragic time.
International Humanitarian Law (IHL) recognizes the right of parties involved in an armed conflict to use force in self-defense against military aggression. Palestinians living under occupation have the inherent right to protect themselves, their families, and their communities from harm and to resist the occupation by any means they deem necessary.
We call on the international community to bear its responsibility in addressing the situation in Jenin. The international community must uphold its commitment to human rights, justice, and the principles of IHL. We urge diplomatic efforts and international pressure to bring an end to the Israeli occupation.
The Israeli military attacks and Israeli settler attacks on Palestinians exhibit a disturbing level of organization and coordination, with both actions serving a common goal. These actions are not isolated incidents but reflect systematic policies and practices that aim to suppress Palestinian resistance, instill fear, displace communities, and assert control over land.
It is imperative that the voices of the Palestinian people are heard, and their rights recognized. The cycle of violence and suffering must be broken, and a comprehensive resolution that respects the rights and aspirations of Palestinians must be sought. The international community must support efforts to ensure the realization of the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination, freedom, and justice.
In furtherance of this purpose, we the undersigned organization acknowledge and affirm this Memorandum of Protest.
“Upholding Truth & Justice”
