He also told the Dewan Rakyat that Putrajaya had received two démarche notices from the United States on the Palestine-Israel conflict — with the first received on October 13 while the latest came yesterday. “Despite the possibility of being faced with reprimands or warnings from any party, Malaysia will not succumb to any form of intimidation. The elements can come in various forms and ways, either written or implied.
“For example, our ambassador in Washington was called by the US State Department and pressed about the country's position on the Palestinian issue," he said during the Prime Minister Question Time session, referring to Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz.
The US State Department defined a démarche as a"formal diplomatic representation of its official position, views, or wishes on a given subject" which seeks to"persuade, inform, or gather information from a foreign government", or to"protest or object to actions by a foreign government".
