Malaysia vows explusion of Israelis found in the country amid investigations into Tech community

Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced that Israeli citizens found in the country will be deported immediately, as federal authorities investigate allegations that Israelis using dual citizenship are participating in a technology-focused community in Johor's Forest City. The investigation centers on 'Network School,' a co-living community for startup founders and digital nomads led by former Coinbase executive Balaji Srinivasan. The project, located in a China-backed development, faced scrutiny after an online promotional video sparked controversy, with critics comparing it to a cult. Malaysian immigration officials confirmed that 266 foreign nationals from 40 countries at the site had valid travel documents, but broader inquiries into their identities and activities continue. Anwar emphasized strict enforcement of national security and Malaysia's political stance against Israel.
