According to the Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu’s office, his cabinet has resolved to amend the legislation to bar holders of Israeli passports from visiting the nation and would form a subcommittee to supervise the change.
Additionally, it stated that the president will designate a special envoy to evaluate Palestinian needs and begin a fundraising effort.
In reaction, the foreign ministry of Israel advised its nationals, including those with dual citizenship, against visiting the Maldives.
It also advised individuals who were there to think about leaving.
It is advised that Israeli nationals who are currently in the nation think about leaving if they experience any kind of hardship.
It is advised that Israeli citizens who are already in the nation think about leaving since it will be challenging for us to help them if they find themselves in trouble for whatever reason, the ministry stated.
Data from the Maldives government indicates that during the first four months of this year, 528 Israeli nationals visited the islands, compared to 4,644 during the same period in 2023.
A little over 11,000 Israelis made up 0.6% of all visitors to the archipelago in 2017.
It follows thousands of demonstrators who staged a rally in Tel Aviv over the weekend demanding the immediate release of captives and the resignation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
