in 4 weeks)
       KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 20 (Reuters) - Malaysia will ban
Israeli shipping company ZIM  2SV.F  from docking at any of its
ports effective immediately, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said
on Wednesday.
    "This restriction is a response to Israel's actions that
violate basic humanitarian principles and international laws,"
Anwar said in a statement, referring to its military response in
Gaza to a deadly incursion in southern Israel in October by
Hamas militants.
