Kuala lumpur: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today 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. In a statement posted on his X account, Anwar stressed that Malaysia remains committed to preventing the country from being used to support military aggression or acts against innocent lives.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the Prime Minister stated, "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." He emphasized that any suspicious shipment will be subject to inspection and investigation in accordance with Malaysian law, and decisive action will be taken if a violation is established.

Anwar's statement was issued alongside a foreign report highlighting a new level of scrutiny over Israel-bound shipments. This move underscores Malaysia's ongoing commitment to international peace and security, particularly in relation to the ongoing conflict affecting Palestinians and other groups.
