KUALA LUMPUR: The ban on Israeli athletes entering Malaysia is a way for the country to convey to Israel that Malaysia is against its transgressions against Palestinians, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

PKR president and Port Dickson Member of Parliament Anwar said since Israel had been ignoring pressure from the international community and continued to "transgress Palestinians", Malaysia had the right to speak up.
