his country. All this senerio is created in concern of Palestinian. This is a big diplomatic action.

pelestine.
The decision of banning Israel was press released yesterday, expressing the support of
maldives government towards the Palestinians. Maldives was against the increasing regional
tension between both countries. The declaration emphasised the Maldives’ long-standing
defend for the Palestinian trigger and opposed recent Israeli policies that have exacerbated the
state of emergency and destruction in the disputed areas. With this, Maldives became the first
country to ban Israel citizens.

Maldives, showed their clear stand towards the Palestinian. According to them, Gaza’s people
fought for their justice and self-determination. There mixed reactions from the world, some are
praising while other are criticizing for ignoring the hamas terror attack on Israel. The critics are
showing their concern for affecting the diplomacy, and it’s impact on the tourism in Maldives,

Although Israeli officials have not yet provided a formal response to the restriction, it is
anticipated that this action will heighten relations between the two countries. The Maldives, a
country with a large Muslim population, has often said in international forums—including the
UN—that it supports Palestine.

foreign policy of Maldives, standing in the world community. Maldives gave a clear stand
