(Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim will table a motion in the Dewan Rakyat tomorrow condemning the Israel-US attack on Iran, PKR secretary-general Fuziah Salleh said following a PKR leadership council meeting today. Anwar, who is PKR president, has condemned the joint Israel-US airstrikes, calling it a move that could push the Middle East to the “edge of catastrophe”. He criticised Israel for initiating the strikes, describing it as a reckless attempt to sabotage ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran, and to involve other nations in a conflict that could spiral out of control. “An immediate and unconditional cessation of hostilities is imperative,” he said, calling for the US and Iran to pursue a diplomatic solution.
