Maldives, one of the most important and popular destinations in world tourism, is on the verge of imposing very heavy sanctions on Israel. It is only a matter of time before a ban on Israeli passports is imposed in the Maldives, where the majority of the population consists of Muslims.
A BAN ON ISRAELI PASSPORTS IS ON THE AGENDA
According to Sözcü TV, a spokesperson from the office of Muhammed Muizzu, the President of the Maldives, known for its luxury resorts and clear sea, announced that it was decided to impose a ban on Israeli passports.
The spokesman for Muizzu, the leader of the Maldives, whose population is predominantly Muslim, did not give details on when the new law would come into force.
WARNING FROM ISRAELI MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
In response, the Israeli Foreign Ministry advised Israeli citizens on Sunday not to travel to the Maldives. The Israeli ministry said this advice also covers Israelis with dual citizenship.
In the statement made by the ministry, it was said: “Israeli citizens who are currently in the country are advised to consider leaving the country, as it will be difficult for us to help them if they get into trouble for any reason.”
