SAN FRANCISCO – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has never made any remark categorising Hamas as a terrorist organisation, said Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil.
“What recent remark? He never said that, even in Parliament.
“This is insinuating (something) he has never insinuated. We condemn all acts of terrorism,” Fahmi, who is also the unity government spokesman, told the Malaysian media when asked about an allegation by the Concerned Lawyers for Justice.
In a statement, the lawyers’ group claimed that Anwar has insinuated that Hamas is a terrorist organisation and it expressed its disappointment for the same.
“We call upon Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to carefully consider the implications of his statements and to approach the matter with a balanced and informed perspective,” said the group.
Fahmi is in San Francisco as part of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s delegation to the Apec Economic Leaders Meeting, which ends today. – November 17, 2023
