US summons Malaysian envoy over ban on Israeli citizens

Malaysia's ambassador to the United States was summoned by the U.S. State Department to clarify Malaysia's stance on Israel, according to state media reports. Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan stated that Malaysia's policy of not recognizing Israel is longstanding and based on its immigration regulations. The issue arose after a digital nomad community in Malaysia, led by a U.S. investor, faced allegations of including individuals with Israeli citizenship. The U.S. embassy has not yet commented on the matter.
