Visas not granted to Israeli squash players as no diplomatic ties with Tel Aviv, says Ahmad Faizal


NILAI: Visas were not granted to squash players from Israel to take part in the Men's Squash World Team Championships scheduled to be held here in Kuala Lumpur next month as there are no diplomatic ties between Malaysia and Israel, says Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu (pic).

The Youth and Sports Minister said international sports bodies should also take note of this before agreeing to allow Malaysia to host such events.
