Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad opined that the issue on the cruelty of the Zionist regime against the Palestinians could be stopped if the United States of America (US) were to cease in its support for Israel.
He said because of the US support for Israel, the Palestinians had been suffering for more than 60 years due to the war.
"For as long as Britain and the US continue to support Israel, it (the war) will not end," he said after flagging off the 1Malaysia Putera Club Humanitarian Aid Mission to Gaza, Palestine, by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin at the KL International Airport, here today.
On the cool response by other Arab countries to resolve the conflict between Israel and Palestine, Mahathir said it was because they regarded the Hamas fighters were on good terms with the Ikhwanul Muslimin.
He said the Arab countries regarded Ikhwanul Muslimin as their enemy and would not assist Palestine.
Mahathir hit out at the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) for not being able to resolve the problem.
On the contributions by Malaysians for the people in Gaza, Mahathir said he was proud to see that Malaysians, regardless of race and religion, were willing to help the Palestinians.
