Malaysia's state broadcaster, Radio Televisyen Malaysia, will continue broadcasting reports of "Israeli atrocities" in Lebanon and Palestine, Deputy Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Zahid announced. A South East Asian multicultural and multiracial state but with a Malay Muslim majority, Malaysia does not recognise Israel.
"The government has no other motives in broadcasting the reports but to explain to the people the importance of unity to prevent outside elements from threatening the peace and sovereignty of our country," Zahid said. "If the Malaysian Defence Forces were to be involved in [UN] peacekeeping duties in Lebanon, RTM would embed its personnel so that Malaysians got a clear picture of the human suffering in Lebanon as a result of the Israeli action, he added.
