The Maldives bans Israelis from entering its territory

The Maldives government decided, on Sunday, to ban Israelis from entering its territory, as popular anger there escalated due to the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.

The office of the President of the Maldives, Mohamed Moizo, said in a statement, “The Cabinet decided to change the laws to prevent holders of Israeli passports from entering the country, and to establish a subcommittee of the Cabinet to supervise the process.”

The statement added, "President Moiso will appoint a special envoy to assess Palestinian needs and launch a fundraising campaign, with the assistance of UNRWA, under the slogan: 'The Maldives stands with Palestine.'

The Israeli occupation forces have continued their aggression against the Gaza Strip, by land, sea and air, since the 7th of last October, which resulted in the martyrdom of 36,439 citizens, the majority of whom were women and children, and the injury of 82,627 others, in an infinite toll, as thousands of victims are still under the rubble. .
