Malaysia: We will not recognize Washington’s sanctions on countries that support the Palestinian forces

Malaysia announced today its rejection of the proposed US sanctions on countries supporting resistance movements in occupied Palestine, indicating that it will not recognize these sanctions.

Reuters News Agency quoted Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim as saying:” The American draft law that imposes sanctions on supporters of Palestinian forces and movements will not affect Malaysia”.

Ibrahim indicated that the Malaysian government will continue to monitor developments regarding the approval of the draft law, which aims to cut off international support for Palestinian resistance movements.

A few days ago, Ibrahim revealed American pressure on his country to stop supporting Palestinian resistance movements, and said:” His country will not submit to any coercion, while he likened the destruction occurring in the Gaza Strip as a result of the Israeli aggression to the American destruction of the city of Hiroshima, which occurred with the atomic bomb in 1945″.
