SINGAPORE — Singapore's relationship with Malaysia should not be complicated by the countries' differing diplomatic relations with Israel and the Palestinian Authority, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Monday (Oct 30).
Malaysia Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong shake hands at the 10th Leaders' Retreat in Singapore on Oct 30, 2023.
"I don't think they should affect our bilateral relations. I think we have each expressed our views onMr Lee was responding to a question about how Singapore and Malaysia will ensure that their approaches and ground sentiments to the Middle East conflict do not have a"spillover effect" on bilateral relations.
Israel responded by bombarding Gaza, particularly in the north and launching a ground offensive. Medical authorities in the Gaza Strip, which has a population of 2.3 million people, said on Sunday that 8,005 people — including 3,324 minors — had been killed, Reuters reported.
"And Malaysia has very friendly relations with the Palestine Authority, but they do not have diplomatic relations with Israel. So the diplomatic situation is not identical, but there is no reason for that to cause a difficulty between Malaysia and Singapore."Mr Anwar said on Monday that Malaysia has taken a"much stronger" position as he feels the issue in the Middle East is not what happened in recent weeks, but what he calls"politics of dispossession".
