Spokesman of Hamas Movement, Abdul Latif Al-Qanoua, expressed the movement's appreciation for Malaysia's refusing entry to a Zionist sports team entry to its territory to participate in the World Squash Championship.

"Malaysia's refusal reflects the genuine stance against all forms of normalizing ties with the Israeli occupation and supports the Palestinian people and strengthens their steadfastness in the face of the occupation," Al-Qanoua added.

Al-Qanoua called on all countries to oppose normalization and boycott the occupation.
