Anwar Ibrahim has a long history of antisemitic rhetoric, but it has been less severe than Matahir's, and he has said he wants to rid Malaysia of racism and religious bigotry
Ibrahim, a former Mahathir protégé-turned-opposition leader, has been accused by his political enemies of being a tool of Jews and Christians. But he has a long record of antisemitic rhetoric, even if he is less severe in his comments than his predecessor.
For the past 13 years they have accused me of being a Jewish agent or befriending Jews,” the Financial Times quoted him as saying. “In every village during elections these people put up photographs of me and Paul Wolfowitz
In 2013, he came under fire domestically for apparently endorsing a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, telling the Wall Street Journal that he was in favor of “efforts to protect the security of the state of Israel” at the same time that he supported the “legitimate rights of the Palestinians.”
Some refuse to recognize the state of Israel but I think our policy should be clear – protect the security [of Israel] but you must be as firm in protecting the legitimate interests of the Palestinians,” he told the Journal
Despite his mixed record, Ibrahim is certainly more open to Israel than the hard-line Mahathir, which could potentially provide an opening for Israel to improve relations to some degree.
Jerusalem has expressed interest in working toward establishing ties with southeast Asia's Muslim-majority nations, including Malaysia. "We are willing to talk, we are willing to meet, and the door is open as far as we are concerned. I don't think it's so difficult to find us," Sagi Karni, Israel's ambassador to Singapore, said last summer.
However, even if Ibrahim proves more tractable than previous Malaysian leaders, there are still significant hurdles to any sort of rapprochement, especially of the kind achieved between Israel and the Gulf states under the Abraham Accords.
Beyond the necessity of overcoming domestic opposition among the 61 percent of Malaysians who have expressed antisemitic views (according to a 2014 Anti-Defamation League survey), there are geopolitical factors that would make building bridges between Jerusalem and Kuala Lumpur a serious undertaking.

Bila Yisrael buat 1Israel, tiba-tiba Malaysia ikut sama buat 1Malaysia, bila Yisrael buat ulfa'ate mizrach kadimah, terus atokcow ijau buat Dasar Pandang Ke Timur, bila Yisrael ada Hatikvah (The Hope) terus Malaysia buat Pakatan Harapan, sesama sepupu bani Kenturah dengan bani Yisrael (dalam bahasa Yehudi bermaksud orang yang mengalahkan tuhannya sendiri, sebab Allah S.W.T. kalah gusti lengan dengan Nabi Ya'akov/Ya'qub A.S.) pun nak bergaduh, Nabi Avraham/Ibrahim A.S. dan Sarah tersenyum sinis melihat telatah anak cucu mereka
Sedangkan penyamun yang mereka dendang-dendangkan boleh jadi kawan. Inikan pulak Israel. Teringat kata-kata Mat Sabu Kepala Perompak terhadap Tun, akhirnya jemput Tun datang ke rumah untuk bersantap. Ingat, lepas ni kalau pemimpin PH kutuk musuh dia, jangan percaya, sebab akan jadi kawan nanti.

Maksudnya: “Sungguh kalian akan mengikuti jalan orang-orang sebelum kalian sejengkal demi sejengkal dan sehasta demi sehasta sampai jika orang-orang yang kalian ikuti itu masuk ke lubang dhob (yang sempit sekalipun), pasti kalian pun akan mengikutinya.” Kami (para sahabat) berkata, “Wahai Rasulullah, apakah yang diikuti itu adalah Yahudi dan Nashrani?” Beliau menjawab, “Lantas siapa lagi?”
