The United States had tried to exert pressure on Malaysia over its stance on the Palestine-Israel conflict, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has revealed.
“The Malaysian envoy to the United States was called by American authorities which questioned our stance on the conflict, especially the violence inflicted by Israel on Gaza,” said Datuk Seri Anwar during Prime Minister’s Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday.
“Our ambassador firmly stated our position,” he added.

“The politics and the disorder did not only start last month but it has been going on for decades since 1948,” he noted.

“Therefore, it is unreasonable to set aside the violence, invasion and colonialism of Israel on the Arab territory of Palestine,” he added.
