In Southeast Asia, news in Gaza puts the Palestinian question at the heart of the debate. Malaysia, like Indonesia, a predominantly Muslim country, historically supports Palestine.
On the side of Singapore, which maintains diplomatic ties with Israel unlike Malaysia and Indonesia, the words of the country's former president calling for "standing alongside humanity " were very noted this week. In Malaysia, a new demonstration to support the Palestinians in front of the American Embassy took place on Saturday, March 2. In Singapore, a call from Halima Yacob, former President of the City-State, attracts attention.
