Abstract


 

This study discusses Malaysia's stand and commitment in its foreign policy in the Israeli-Palestinian conflicts from 1957 to 2014. Malaysia's foreign policy towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflicts is to prioritise security and stability in West Asia or the Middle East. A more critical aspect of Malaysia's commitment is the liberation of the Palestinian land from the Zionist regime's conquest and oppression, strongly supported by the major powers such as the United States and Britain. Although various peace negotiations have been held between Israel and Palestine, such concrete solutions have not been achieved adequately. The objective of this paper is to analyse the role of Malaysia in the Israeli-Palestinian conflicts from 1957 to 2014. This research uses qualitative methodology involving analysis of primary resources such as files, documents, Official Statements of Parliament of Malaysia, speech texts, and newspapers clipping  from National Archive Kuala Lumpur and Tun Sri Lanang Library (PTSL). The result of this study proved that Malaysia had played a proactive and consistent role to seek a just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflicts.

Abstrak


Kajian ini membincangkan pendirian dan komitmen Malaysia dalam dasar luarnya berhubung konflik Israel-Palestin dari tahun 1957-2014. Dasar luar Malaysia berhubung dengan konflik Israel-Palestin iaitu mengutamakan keselamatan dan keamanan di rantau Asia Barat atau Timur Tengah. Aspek yang lebih penting ialah komitmen Malaysia terhadap usaha membebaskan bumi Palestin dari penaklukan dan penindasan rejim zionis Israel yang disokong kuat oleh  kuasa-kuasa besar iaitu Amerika Syarikat dan Britain. Walaupun pelbagai proses runding damai telah diadakan antara Israel dan Palestin namun begitu penyelesaian yang konkrit belum dapat dicapai secara mutlak. Objektif kajian ini ialah menganalisis peranan Malaysia dalam konflik Israel-Palestin dari tahun 1957 hingga 2014. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kualitatif iaitu analisis ke atas sumber primer seperti fail, dokumen dari Penyata Rasmi Parlimen Malaysia, teks ucapan dan keratan akhbar yang diperolehi di Arkib Negara Malaysia dan Perpustakaan Tun Sri Lanang (PTSL). Hasil kajian ini membuktikan bahawa Malaysia telah memainkan peranan yang pro-aktif dan konsisten dalam mencari penyelesaian yang berkekalan kepada  isu konflik Israel-Palestin.
