PUTRAJAYA: While opposing the cruelty of the Israeli regime, Malaysia should also consider its own interests when it comes to closing the door on companies sympathetic towards Israel, says the Prime Minister.

Speaking at the monthly assembly of the Prime Minister’s Department here, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said no one is disputing the cruelty Israel has been committing against Palestine but urged everyone not to be “excessive” in discussing the polemics surrounding the BlackRock issue.
