BDS urges friendly states to follow Malaysia in banning Israeli and Israel-bound ships
Ramallah (Quds News) – The Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions (BDS) movement has urged friendly countries around the world to follow the steps of Malaysia in banning Israeli and Israel-bound ships from docking at its ports in response to the ongoing Israeli genocide campaign in Gaza.
“The US, with the complicity of Arab dictatorships and European satellite states, has once again imposed its will on the UN Security Council, preventing a permanent ceasefire and an end to Israel’s deadly siege of Gaza,” the movement said in a statement.

“This gives the apartheid state the green light to continue its genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in the occupied and besieged territory, massacring Palestinians, destroying our livelihoods, and reducing the already frail foundations of international law “to tatters,” as Irish President Michael D. Higgins puts it.”
In response to the world’s first livestreamed genocide, Palestinians have called for unprecedented grassroots pressure to end state, corporate and institutional complicity in Israel’s 75-year-old regime of settler-colonialism and apartheid. “This is necessary today not just to stop the genocide, but also to halt humanity’s descent into an unhinged “might makes right” world order.”
“To uphold the Never Again! slogan,” the movement said, “people of conscience worldwide must make Israel face unprecedented BDS measures in all fields.”
