Malaysia Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong shake hands at the 10th Leaders' Retreat in Singapore on Oct 30, 2023.
"I don't think they should affect our bilateral relations. I think we have each expressed our views onMr Lee was responding to a question about how Singapore and Malaysia will ensure that their approaches and ground sentiments to the Middle East conflict do not have a"spillover effect" on bilateral relations.

"And Malaysia has very friendly relations with the Palestine Authority, but they do not have diplomatic relations with Israel. So the diplomatic situation is not identical, but there is no reason for that to cause a difficulty between Malaysia and Singapore."Mr Anwar said on Monday that Malaysia has taken a"much stronger" position as he feels the issue in the Middle East is not what happened in recent weeks, but what he calls"politics of dispossession".
