Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said for over 70 years the Palestinian people have been denied their right to self-determination and subjected to Israeli occupation in their own land. Dr Wan Azizah said an one-sided peace proposal certainly does not serve any useful purpose to end the conflict. Dr Wan Azizah said Israel could not be allowed to continue perpetuating its occupation of Palestinian land. She said among the international community which has openly expressed sympathy for the Palestinian cause were celebrities like Selena Gomez, Penelope Cruz, Morgan Freeman and Cristiano Ronaldo. Dr Wan Azizah said it was important that the younger generations do not forget the calamities that have befallen the Palestinians.
