OIC should consider arms for Hezbollah: Malaysian minister

Malaysia currently chairs the 57-nation OIC, and Syed Hamid said Israel could not be allowed to act with impunity, although it seemingly had "carte blanche" in its operations. "Some are suggesting that we supply arms. Okay, we should look at all these things," Syed Hamid was quoted as saying by the state Bernama news agency. "The governments (of OIC) countries should look and we must not allow Israel to do what it wants," he said, but added that Muslim countries had to act according to international norms and principles.
