Gaza-(MOI)
Head of Hamas's political bureau Khaled Mashaal on Friday phoned Malaysian premier Mohamad Najib Abdul Razak and briefed them on the latest developments in the Palestinian arena.
Mashaal highlighted over the phone Israel's mass arrest campaign in the West Bank, the blockade on the Gaza Strip and the suffering of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
The Hamas official criticized the double standard of the international community and the UN when it comes to Israel's violations against the Palestinian people.
He urged the Malaysian premier to move diplomatically at the international level to curb Israel's violence against the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza and pressure it to release the hunger striking administrative detainees.
A telephone conversation also took place between Mashaal and Malaysian minister of interior Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
