The Maldivian government has made the decision to change the country’s laws to ban Israeli passports, amid mounting public outrage over the devastating attacks by Israeli forces on Gaza.
The decision was announced by Home Minister Ali Ihusan, in an emergency press briefing at the President’s Office on late Sunday afternoon.
According to Ihusan, the decision was made during a cabinet meeting held earlier in the day.
“The cabinet decided today to make the legal amendments necessary to ban entry into the Maldives on Israeli passports as soon as possible,” he said.
