Malaysia will not be transit point for cargo supporting Israel’s military, says Anwar


KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim reaffirmed Malaysia’s firm stance against allowing the country to be used as a transit point for any cargo contributing to Israel’s military operations.

Anwar stressed that Malaysia remains committed to preventing the country from being used to support military aggression or acts against innocent lives.

"Malaysia’s position is clear and unequivocal.

"We will not allow our country to be used as a conduit for any shipment that supports or contributes to Israel’s military capabilities and its atrocities against Palestinians and other innocent lives.

"Any suspicious shipment will be subject to inspection and investigation in accordance with Malaysian law. Where a violation is established, decisive action will be taken,” he said in a statement posted on his X account on Tuesday (Sept 15).

The Prime Minister’s statement was issued alongside a foreign report highlighting a new level of scrutiny over Israel-bound shipments. — Bernama
