Malaysia Orders Deportation Of Israelis In Digital Commune
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim declared on 15 July that any Israeli nationals found to be involved in the Network School “digital nomad” community will be deported immediately, highlighting that Malaysia does not recognize Israel.
“If any wrongdoing is found, action must be taken. If there are Israeli nationals involved, they will be deported immediately because Malaysia does not recognize Israel,” Anwar said at a community event on Wednesday.
The comments come after Israeli nationals allegedly entered Malaysia – where Israeli passport holders are barred from entry – by using second passports from other countries, and joining the Network School commune.
