PAS general assembly adopts eight resolutions

KOTA BHARU: The 66th PAS Muktamar (general assembly) yesterday unanimously passed eight resolutions, including on issues related to the normalisation of diplomatic relations between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Arab League with Israel.

The resolution, submitted by Dewan Ulama representative Muhammad Najhan Shahir Abdul Halim, among others, urged all Muslims and Islamic governments to protest and condemn the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel as well as any form of normalisation of diplomatic relations with Israel to curb the expansion of its political power and occupation of Palestine.

The council also condemned the actions of the Arab League, UAE and Bahrain which recognised the normalisation of diplomatic relations with Israel, which is a form of violation and hostility towards the Ummah.

It also urged the Malaysian government to study the ‘two-state solution’ in its foreign relations pertaining to the Palestinian issue by emphasising the history and religious values for the benefit of Palestine and its people with a just solution.

Meanwhile, the second resolution submitted by the Central PAS Muslimat Council, represented by Asmak Husin, is on the issue of gambling, and the authorities have been urged to combat illegal gambling activities that are becoming more prevalent.
