United KingdomThe United States summoned the Malaysian ambassador to Washington to discuss Malaysia's stance on Israel, according to reports from Malaysia's state news agency Bernama. Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan stated that Malaysia's policy of not recognizing Israel or the 'Zionist regime' has been longstanding. The issue arose after an individual with dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship entered Malaysia using a U.S. passport but was later identified as holding Israeli citizenship and asked to leave. This follows Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's recent statement that Israeli nationals found in Malaysia would be deported. Additionally, Malaysia's Ministry of Home Affairs launched an investigation into the Network School project after allegations surfaced that some participants were Israeli citizens with dual nationality who had entered the country using non-Israeli passports, violating immigration laws.
