Malaysia urges sanctions on Israel at UN meeting

Malaysia urged sanctions on Saturday against Israel at the UN General Assembly. "We must take action now" and sanction Israel, Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan said in his address to the General Assembly in New York.

"The metastasis of Israel's brutality in Middle East cannot go on," he said, calling Tel Aviv’s assault on Doha earlier this month as "not merely an attack on a few representatives of Hamas," but "an insult to the efforts of all who have attempted to mediate" a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, and a signal that Israel's "violence will continue to destabilize the region."
