Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has stated that the country will deport all Israeli citizens found within its territory. He emphasised that Malaysia does not compromise on this issue and will take immediate action against any Israeli nationals detected entering the country.

“We are investigating. We do not allow it. If there are Israeli citizens, they will be immediately expelled because we do not recognise their country,” Anwar said on Sunday.

The Prime Minister was responding to concerns regarding the alleged detection of Israeli citizens participating in a programme in Johor. He confirmed that authorities are looking into the matter and that the relevant ministries will provide further details.

“All agencies have conducted investigations. I am confident that the Minister of Higher Education, Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir, will provide an answer,” Anwar added.

Previously, the Johor state government had requested the Home Ministry and related agencies to investigate the operations of a “Network School” in Forest City, which was suspected of being attended by Israeli nationals. Johor Menteri Besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi explained that the individuals were believed to have used foreign passports to join the programme, sparking public concern.
