The Maldives has officially changed its travel policy, now banning entry for people who hold Israeli passports. This decision was made by the country’s parliament and signed into law by President Mohamed Muizzu. The move puts the Maldives among several nations that are adjusting their foreign policies in response to current global events.
According to the updated rules, anyone who only holds an Israeli passport will not be allowed to enter the country. However, people who have dual nationality can still visit the Maldives if they travel using a passport from another country. This provides some flexibility for individuals with more than one citizenship.
The Maldivian government says the new rule reflects the country’s changing priorities and is part of a wider effort to support humanitarian causes. In addition to the travel policy change, the government has announced plans to send a special envoy who will focus on international humanitarian coordination. This envoy will represent the Maldives in global discussions and efforts to help those affected by ongoing conflicts.
Furthermore, the Maldives is planning to launch a nationwide fundraising campaign. The goal is to collect donations to support humanitarian aid for people suffering due to global conflicts. This move highlights the country’s desire to contribute to international relief work and show solidarity with affected populations.
While the decision may impact tourism and international relations in some ways, it has been welcomed by many inside the country who support stronger humanitarian action.
The Maldives, a popular tourist destination known for its beautiful beaches, is now using its voice on the global stage to promote peace and support for those in need.
