Malaysia gets new PM with history of controversial comments on Jews, Israel – Anwar Ibrahim, ally-turned-foe-turned-former running mate of ‘proud antisemite’ former leader Mahathir Mohamad, is selected by palace to lead nation after inconclusive election | Timesofisrael

Malaysia’s perennial opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim was sworn in as prime minister before the king in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday, ending a five-day political impasse after inconclusive polls.
The ceremony at the palace closes the chapter on one of the most dramatic elections in Malaysia’s history, after no party managed to secure a majority to form a parliament for the first time since independence in 1957.
