BBC World Service - World Business Report, Israel ships banned from Malaysia's ports

Government says measure is a response to the Israel-Palestine conflict

Malaysia imposes docking ban on Israeli cargo ships in solidarity with Gaza. Ships also barred from loading cargo at any port in the largely Muslim Southeast Asian nation.

Malaysia has banned all Israeli-owned or flagged vessels from calling at its ports. The ban is a direct response to Israeli actions in Gaza, which were regarded in Malaysia as a violation of basic humanitarian principles and international law. It is still unclear how this will affect economic relations between countries and what problems will it create for trading in Israel.
In the programme presenter Sam Fenwick also takes a look at why Toyota says its subsidiary Diahatsu is suspending shipments of all  its vehicles – and why voting in the Democratic Republic of Congo elections got off to a shaky start.
