"Surely, they (Netanyahu and Gallant) will not come to Malaysia as we have never recognised nor do we have any diplomatic ties with Israel," he added.
In a historic decision on Thursday (Nov 21), the ICC announced that arrest warrants had been issued against the two for alleged war crimes in Palestinian territories, including Gaza.
The warrants were issued amid Israel’s ongoing genocidal attacks on Gaza, now in their second year, which have claimed the lives of approximately 44,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured over 103,000 others.
