Maldives Bans Israeli Nationals from June 2 Amid Gaza Conflict
Jun 2, 2024, 04:31 PM
The Maldives has announced a ban on the entry of Israeli nationals in response to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The decision, taken by President Mohamed Muizzu's government, aligns the Maldives with several other countries that have also imposed similar bans. The government stated that the move is a show of support for Palestinians amid the Israel-Hamas war. The ban will be effective from June 2, 2024, and necessary laws will be amended to enforce this decision. The Maldives has a history of fluctuating diplomatic relations with Israel, having previously cut ties and banned Israeli goods under different administrations. The ban also reflects rising public anger in the predominantly Muslim nation, known for its luxury resorts.
