From the ashes of Gaza, the Global South must build another world

The ongoing destruction in Gaza highlights the failures of the US-led world order, prompting calls for the Global South to unite and forge a shared future. The conflict has exposed a stark contrast between the UN's founding mission of preventing atrocities and the current reality, particularly given the involvement of Israel and the US, countries that emerged from the ashes of the Holocaust and World War II, respectively.

Adding to the global outrage, Donald Trump's proposal to displace Palestinians and transform Gaza has been widely condemned as a potential second Nakba. The Gaza war has also significantly damaged the US's global standing, with surveys indicating a shift in favor towards China in regions like Southeast Asia. In response, countries like Malaysia, led by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, are actively criticizing the war and seeking accountability through international bodies like the International Court of Justice, while also working to support Gaza's reconstruction.
