Malaysia never recognised Israel, remains with Palestinian people, says PM Anwar

LIMA (Peru): Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim insists that Malaysia remains consistent with its stance on the issue of Israel and Palestine, emphasising that Putrajaya has never diplomatically recognised the existence of the state of Israel.

The Prime Minister told a press conference with the Malaysian media, held after the discussion session at the Apec Summit, that Malaysia did not send embassy officials or establish diplomatic relations with Israel as a protest measure against the oppression of the Palestinian people.
