“These sanctions are a response to Israel’s actions ignoring the basic principles of humanity and breaking international law through continued massacres and atrocities against Palestinians,” Anwar stated in a declaration.
Sunni Islam is Malaysia’s state faith, observed by virtually 2 thirds of its people. Kuala Lumpur has actually been a forthright champ of the Palestinians and has actually picked to keep connections with Hamas, a team that runs Gaza however has actually been marked as terrorist by Israel, the United States and the EU.
Israel proclaimed battle on Hamas after the militants’ October 7 attack, condemned for the fatalities of an approximated 1,200 Israeli soldiers and private citizens.
