Malaysia's Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, presented the proposed measures while delivering the national statement during the emergency meeting convened by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
He said the measures emphasised the need to expand global support for Palestine, leveraging the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) rulings and the unity achieved by Palestinian factions through the Beijing Declaration.
"Such measures should focus on universal jurisdiction and ensure the consistent application of international law," he stated during the meeting in Jeddah, on Wednesday.
Second, Malaysia called for the reinstatement of the United Nations Special Committee Against Apartheid.
The primary task of this committee would be to halt the illegal occupation of Palestinian Territories (OPT) by Israel and to address the apartheid policies imposed on Palestinians, he added.
Third, Malaysia proposed that the OIC, in collaboration with like-minded countries, request a resumed session of the 10th Emergency Special Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on the Issue of Palestine.
"This suggestion is to discuss the means and ways to implement or "give effect" to the ICJ's Advisory Opinion.
"Finally, we should extend our undivided support and fully assist, in the rebuilding of the Palestinian economy and livelihood post-conflict. This is a key step that would ease their return to normalcy," Mohamad said.
Following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, who also led Hamas' political bureau, Malaysia called for a concerted effort to counter Israeli propaganda and misinformation.
"Malaysia has always been a strong advocate for peace and stability. As much as we condemn the assassination, we urge all parties to restraint, to avoid escalating the situation into a regional and global crisis.
"The attack in Tehran could well be an attempt to derail the ongoing peace negotiations in the Middle East.
"We should not fall into their trap. Cool heads must prevail. We should support the continuation of the peace process to be resolved at the negotiating table. Diplomacy is the way to go," he noted.
On the same development, OIC said it denounced Israel for last week's assassination of Haniyeh, calling it a "crime of aggression, a flagrant violation of international law and a serious infringement of the sovereignty of Iran."
According to Anadolu Agency (AA), the world body also urged the UN Security Council (UNSC) to impose an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire on Israeli aggression and "ensure adequate and sustainable access to humanitarian aid throughout Gaza Strip."
