Malaysia has strongly urged the United Nations (UN) to impose sanctions on Israel, stressing that the metastasis of Zionist regime brutality in the Middle East must not be allowed to continue.

Delivering the country’s National Statement at the General Debate of the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) 2025 in New York on Saturday, Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan said Israel’s latest assault on Doha, Qatar, was not merely an attack on a few Hamas representatives but a violation of another state’s sovereignty and an insult to all mediation efforts.
