Muslim-majority Malaysia will no longer host any events that include Israel on the guest list, foreign minister Saifuddin Abdullah said Wednesday.
Abdullah made the public announcement as he reiterated that swimmers from the Jewish state were barred from a forthcoming swimming competition which will serve as a qualifying event for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics.
Despite a plea from the International Paralympic Committee to find a solution to the row, Abdullah doubled down on Malaysia’s opposition to the Jewish state.
