Israeli forces detained 23 Malaysians, including public figures, from the Global Sumud Flotilla en route to Gaza. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim condemned the arrests, launching diplomatic talks with Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and planning outreach to the U.S. The mission, backed by Greta Thunberg and Susan Sarandon, aimed to challenge Gaza’s blockade. Protests in Kuala Lumpur and across Malaysia demanded the detainees’ release and humanitarian access to Gaza. Malaysia insists humanitarian aid must not be obstructed and vows continued global advocacy.
