In response to such a threat, the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim told the Dewan Rakyat during the Prime Minister's Question Time that such US intimidation would not impact Malaysia's stand on the Palestine issue, including its relationship with Hamas.
Malaysia rejects a bill passed by US congressmen to sanction countries that support Hamas and will monitor its passage through the Senate, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
