00:00 First, about the UN Security Council,

00:07 the killing of children every day,

00:13 the whole world is against it.

00:35 I think that's why we are resentful and oppose the US

00:43 that defends the killing of children without any restrictions.

00:51 I would like on behalf of the Malaysian government

00:55 strongly condemn, protest against the decision of the US

01:01 to oppose ceasefire at the Security Council.

01:30 I am deeply saddened by this outrageous decision

01:38 to ignore the clamour and appeal by the international community.

01:43 Thank you.
