Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said Malaysian activists signed the Request for Immediate Departure form to accelerate their release from Ketziot Prison, and the action represented a diplomatic strategy rather than surrender. The procedure followed standard operating protocols communicated by the humanitarian mission secretariat because organizers anticipated detention based on prior missions. Signing the document allowed volunteers to bypass complex Israeli legal proceedings that would have extended their imprisonment.

Mohamad explained that Malaysia lacks official relations with Israel, and officials relied on assistance from Turkey, Jordan, and Egypt to secure the activists' freedom. The Prime Minister's Department will manage documentation and travel arrangements for 23 volunteers who reached Istanbul after their release. Authorities will monitor eight additional Malaysian medical experts, journalists, and humanitarian workers participating in the third wave of Gaza aid delivery using similar diplomatic approaches if detention occurs.
