Malaysia’s Prime Minister condemned Meta after deleting posts about Haniya’s death.

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim condemned Meta Corporation after deleting posts from Facebook and Instagram pages dedicated to the death of the head of the Politburo of the radical Palestinian movement Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh.

⠀

“Meta has once again disrespected and insulted the Palestinian struggle by deleting a video of condolences and condemnation of the murder of the late Ismail Haniyeh,” the prime minister said.

⠀

“Let this send a clear and unequivocal message to Meta: stop this display of cowardice and stop acting as a tool of the oppressive Zionist Israeli regime!” – Ibrahim noted

⠀

The reason given for deleting the posts was that they contained elements about “dangerous individuals or organizations.”

⠀

On July 31, the Malaysian Prime Minister’s Office sought clarification from Meta Corporation regarding deleted Instagram posts about the Prime Minister’s meeting with Haniyeh in Qatar in May.
