Описание: Brunei Announces Move to Cut Remaining Contacts With Israel | PakCan News

The Southeast Asian nation of Brunei has officially announced that it is cutting all remaining diplomatic and economic ties with Israel, joining a growing list of countries isolating the Jewish state. The move comes amid escalating regional tensions, including the war with Iran, the Strait of Hormuz blockade, and the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Brunei, a small oil-rich sultanate on Borneo island, had no formal diplomatic relations but maintained some low-level contacts, which are now fully severed. The government cited "grave violations of international law and humanitarian principles" in Gaza and Iran. Israel's Foreign Ministry expressed disappointment, calling the decision "regrettable and counterproductive." The announcement follows similar actions by Japan, Denmark, and Colombia.

Analysts see Brunei's move as symbolic but part of a broader trend of Muslim-majority nations distancing themselves from Israel amid its offensive. The White House urged calm and dialogue. Global diplomatic pressure on Israel continues to mount.
