Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi will write a letter to the United Nations (UN) Security Council, calling for immediate action to stop the escalating violence by Israel, a senior official said on Friday.

Malaysian Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar said the letter would urge the world body to take stern actions immediately to stop Israel from continuing their aggression.

Israel's acts in Palestine and Lebanon show that it totally has"no regard for the others", he told local reporters at Kota Bharu, the capital of Malaysia's northern state of Kelantan.

The Malaysian Foreign Ministry Thursday issued a statement, condemning Israel's airstrikes on Rafic Hariri International Airport in Beirut, Lebanon.

The ministry urged Israel to cease all military actions in the occupied Palestinian Territories and Lebanon to avoid further civilian casualties and the breakdown of basic infrastructure.

Malaysia also called for the international community to intervene to prevent further escalation of violence in the region.
