The Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends that Israeli citizens avoid any travel to the Maldives “In light of the Maldives government’s decision to ban the entry of citizens with Israeli passports”. “For Israeli citizens staying in the country, it is recommended to consider leaving, since if they fall into distress for any reason, it will be difficult for us to help,” the ministry added.
One week after Hamas’ massacre on October 7th, slaughtering some 1,200 people while abducting some 250 others, Maldivian MP Saud Hussain submitted a resolution to the parliament seeking to ban arrivals from Israel to the Maldives as a formal recognition of the Maldives government’s condemnation of Israeli military attacks on Hamas in Gaza.
“It is imperative for Maldives to end or suspend all forms of relationship with Israel immediately and to maintain this decision until the Israeli government relinquishes control of the lands it has forcefully occupied from Palestine,” the resolution read.
