Shah Alam, Malaysia, MINA – The Malaysia’s Chairman of Boycott’s Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) campaign, Mohd Nazari Ismail, has said that governments in countries that have no diplomatic relations with Israel have a crucial role in the boycot against Israeli products.

The statement was delivered while conveying his views in the Conference on the Defense & Liberation of Al-Aqsa and Palestine in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia, on Tuesday (10/10).

He said the government with its policies should be able to invite people not to buy Israeli products, because if the government does not care about BDS campaign, it will be in vain.

“Currently the challenge is being faced by Malaysia, there are still government associations that have a negative view of this BDS,” he said.
