The seizure comes as Kuala Lumpur enforces restrictions on exports to Israel and fulfils its commitments under The Hague Group

    Honestly, this is a big deal. Has a nation done this before?

      Not that I can think of aside from Iran and Yemen interdicting Israel aligned ships.

        I know that the government in Indonesia is unpopular but I could legit see them trying to one-up Malaysia by doing the same with Israeli cargo themselves.

        (Given the historic rivalry between Indonesia and Malaysia, that is)

          I think their politicians are too deep in American pockets though, as I recall they even have military ties.

            They toppled the military government around 1997 but yeah, they still have a lot of influence, even the old clique.
