In response to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, the Maldives government has made the decision to prohibit Israelis from entering the country, famed for its luxurious resorts.
The announcement came from the president’s office on Sunday, stating that the Cabinet has amended regulations to prevent individuals holding Israeli passports from entering the Muslim-majority nation. Additionally, a subcommittee has been established to oversee this process, as per the official website of the Maldivian presidency.
President Mohamed Muizzu has also pledged to appoint a special envoy to evaluate Palestinian requirements and has initiated a fundraising campaign to provide assistance to Gaza through the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
Furthermore, a national march under the theme “Maldives Stands in Solidarity with Palestine” has been planned to demonstrate support for Gaza’s plight.
