Sri Lanka must get its foreign policy right: SJB MP

Sri Lanka should get its foreign policy right in the wake of the escalating Middle East crisis, Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Mujibur Rahman said today. 

"The world is sharply divided on the conflict in Middle East with countries such as Iran, Russia and others backing Palestine while countries such as USA are backing Israel. Sri Lanka has stood for Palestine's freedom. The new government should make a note of this," he said. 

The MP also questioned as to why Sri Lankan forces are providing protection to Israelite establishments in Colombo and elsewhere.
