Malaysia Will Not Bow to Pressure Over Israeli Entry Ban, Says PM Anwar Malaysia's decision to maintain its decades long ban on Israeli nationals entering the country has sparked a heated debate, with US lawmakers calling for Washington to review its ties with Kuala Lumpur.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim rejected these claims categorically and defended Malaysia's sovereign right to enforce this policy.
Anwar's stance is not surprising, given Malaysia's long history of opposing Israeli actions in Palestine and Gaza.
