Malaysian PM mourns Sinwar, condemns his killing

Malaysia's prime minister, Anwar Ibrahim, has condemned the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

"Once again, the international community has failed to uphold and ensure peace and justice, further worsening the conflict," he said on Facebook on Saturday. 

He urged the international community to demand an immediate halt to Israel's killing of Palestinians in Gaza.

Ibrahim also mourned Sinwar's death, describing him on social media platform X as a "fighter and defender of the Palestinian people" who was "brutally murdered by the barbaric Zionist regime".
