Malaysia’s ties with terror group Hamas should inspire a more stringent EU foreign policy approach

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 01:15:40 GMT

The shock of Hamas’ surprise attack on and incursion into Israel on October 7 that systematically targeted and killed more than 1,300 civilians and triggered a war with Israel, quickly reverberated around the world, splitting some 100 countries that released an official statement on the matter into three camps: those that unequivocally condemn Hamas’ undeniable act of terrorism and support Israel’s right to defend itself, those that condemn violence on both sides but decry Hamas, and those who put the blame on Israel and/or outright support Hamas, writes Sam M. Hadi.Official statements from the state of Malaysia and its Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, echoed sentiments of the small albeit firm latter group, blaming Israel for the confrontation, and not only omitting critical statements of Hamas but outright refusing to yield on the matter at the request of Western countries. Indonesia is the only other Muslim-majority nation in Southeast Asia that voiced similar opinions to Malaysia....

One of the group asked a guide when the signing took place.“1215,” was the answer.“Drat,” the tourist sighed. “Missed it by 45 minutes.”Today’s declarer had a poor sense of timing. At 3NT he took the ace of hearts and led a club to dummy’s queen. East won and returned a heart to the queen. South then had eight tricks; he had to lose a diamond to set up dummy’s long diamonds, and East cashed three hearts. Down one.POOR CHANCESouth mistimed. East, who overcalled vulnerable, is likely to have the ace of clubs, so South should lead a diamond to dummy at Trick Two and return the four of clubs.If East grabs his ace to continue hearts, South has three clubs, two diamonds, two hearts and two spades. If instead East plays low, South wins and sets up the diamonds, winning four dia...
