Thousands rally outside US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur after Israel intercepts Gaza aid flotilla
Thousands have protested outside the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, calling on Washington to pressure Israel to release detainees and end its blockade of the Gaza enclave. This comes after Israel's interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla. More than two dozen Malaysians have been detained by Israeli forces, after their vessels — part of the flotilla carrying aid to Gaza — were stopped in international waters. Many see Washington's backing of Israel as part of the problem, and they are demanding stronger action from Malaysia and the international community. Afifah Ariffin reports.
