Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Monitoring: Fars News Agency International Group: "This restriction is a response to Israel's actions, which ignores the basic principles of humanity." These are the words of the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, whose Ministry of Transport has decided that the permanent ban on the entry of ships belonging to the Zionist regime's "ZIM" shipping company brought to Malaysian ports.
The "Free Malaysia Today" website reported that the Prime Minister of Malaysia stated today (Wednesday) that despite the fact that the country's cabinet allowed ZIM ships to dock in Malaysia in 2002, and in 2005, these ships received permission to enter the ports of this Asian country. They did, but now it has been decided to cancel all these licenses.
Ibrahim says that such restrictions are in fact "a response to Israel's actions that violate international law through ongoing massacres and crimes against Palestinian citizens."
According to the government's new decision, other ships that carry the flag of the Zionist regime will also be prohibited from docking in Malaysian ports, and any ship that goes to occupied Palestine will not be allowed to load in Malaysian ports.
Anwar says: "Both of these bans will take effect immediately."
The latest action by Malaysia against the ships of the Zionist regime took place after on Monday of this week, the global movement to boycott the Zionist regime, BDS, requested the Malaysian government to prohibit Israeli ships, especially the ships of the ZIM Company, from entering Malaysian ports.
A ship belonging to Zim Company was supposed to enter the western ports of Malaysia on December 26.
ZIM, which means fleet of ships, is actually a shipping company owned by the Zionist regime, whose headquarters is located in Haifa, and which carries out a significant part of the Zionist regime's maritime trade.
More than 95% of Israel's exports and imports are exchanged through the sea, and the Yemeni army has focused on this weak point of the regime and has targeted the ships of the Zionist regime in the Red Sea in recent weeks./Fars news
