Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on Saturday strongly condemned the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by Israeli forces, describing it as a heinous act.

In a statement posted on X, he expressed Malaysia's deep sorrow over the loss of Sinwar, calling him a "fighter and defender of the Palestinian people."

"Malaysia strongly condemns this killing, and it is clear that the regime's attempt to undermine the demand for the release of Palestinian prisoners will not succeed," he said. "Malaysia insists that the international community must reject Israel's barbarity, and that the ongoing massacre of Palestinians must be stopped immediately."

Malaysia berduka atas kehilangan seorang sosok pejuang dan pembela rakyat Palestin, Al Syahid Yahya Sinwar yang dibunuh ganas oleh rejim biadab Zionis.
