Anwar Appearance at Pro-Palestine Rally in Malaysia Risks US Ire

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim addressed a pro-Palestinian rally Wednesday night where he sharply criticized Israel’s actions in Gaza, remarks that come weeks before he hosts a key Israeli ally, US President Donald Trump.

“What we’re fighting against is the giant Israel,” Anwar told thousands who gathered in the capital, Kuala Lumpur. “But we are not, in the slightest, afraid or anxious.”
