KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has condemned Israel over the murder of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
In a Facebook post, Anwar said Malaysia was saddened over the death of Sinwar, a fighter and defender of Palestine.
"Once again the international community has failed to fight for and ensure peace and justice is upheld, worsening the conflict (in Gaza). Malaysia condemns this murder."
Anwar said Malaysia will continue to press the international community to condemn Israel's actions and call for a halt in the violence against Palestinians.
Earlier today, it was reported that an Israeli autopsy of Yahya found the Hamas leader was killed by a gunshot to the head.
