Malaysia won't consider establishing diplomatic ties with Israel until the Jewish state changes its policies toward the Palestinians, a Foreign Ministry official said Monday.
"Tel Aviv has yet to fulfill certain conditions," Foreign Ministry Parliamentary Secretary Ahmad Shabery Cheek was quoted as saying by the national news agency, Bernama. "Therefore there is no reason why Malaysia should review its current stand."
Malaysia currently chairs the 57-nation Organization of the Islamic Conference, the world's largest Muslim political grouping.
