Dr M To Deliver Address At Gaza Forum In London

KUALA LUMPUR, March 19 (Bernama) -- Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad will deliver a keynote address at the Forum and Exhibition on Gaza Genocide: Palestine Solution in London on March 31.
A joint effort by the foreign ministry and Kuala Lumpur Foundation to Criminalise War, the event will be officiated by the minister, Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim.
"There is not enough in press reports to show what is happening (in Gaza). Thus, we feel we should make a special effort to expose the events in Gaza, through this forum," Dr Mahathir told a media briefing on the event Thursday.
Influential speakers who have agreed to share their thoughts in the event are Cynthia McKinney (ex-candidate for the United States presidency), Sir Gerald Kaufman (British elected representative who is against the Gaza genocide) and Rabbi Cohen (a prominent rabbi who is vocally against Israel's policy).
Others include Lauren Booth (a human rights activist) and Tony Benn (former British cabinet minister).
Meanwhile, Dr Rais who was also at the briefing, said this was one way to educate the world that the issue of Gaza should not be forgotten.
According to a statement issued by the ministry, the forum would be followed by a panel discussion chaired by Dr Rais on finding a permanent solution to the conflict.
