ONE OF THE STRONG COUNTRIES OF THE ISLAMIC WORLD
With a population of 32,7 million according to 2021 data, the Asian country Malaysia stands out as one of the strongest countries in the Islamic world with its economic, political, military, technological and many other fields. Malaysia's support to the Palestinian struggle, which has been developing a little more each year, is of great importance for the Palestinian resistance. While the love of Palestine a great deal for the people of Malaysia draws attention, the rulers elected by the people also reveal a sensitive policy line regarding Palestine.
