Malaysian Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has denied claims that his country was a training ground for Hamas militants, stressing that relations with the Palestinians are based on diplomatic, trade and cultural cooperation only.
In a statement to the state-run news agency (BERNAMA), the Minister said that Malaysian was a stronger supporter of the Palestinians, which, he added, may have been Israel’s allegations.
He was commenting on a report published by the "Jerusalem Post" claiming that the Israel’s intelligence agency Shin Bet had collected information disclosed by a Hamas cell commander hinting that Hamas members had been trained in Malaysia as part of their preparations against the Israeli army.
He added that Shin Bet had made the claims in an attempt to smear Malaysia’s reputation and justify failure in facing Hamas fighters in Gaza.
