Why is Israel warning its citizens against transiting through Malaysia?

Question

## Israel is warning its citizens against transiting through Malaysia because Israelis have been detained at Kuala Lumpur International Airport and the release process is not always successful.

Accepted Answer

At least eight Israeli nationals have been detained at KLIA in recent months, including some with dual citizenship, and the cases involved travellers either entering Malaysia or transiting through it to other destinations in Asia. Israel’s ambassador to Singapore, Eliyahu Vered Hazan, said the people detained had not broken any law and that the only reason for detention was that they were Israeli.
