MALE, Maldives — The Maldives announces it is banning the entry of Israelis to the luxury tourist archipelago in “resolute solidarity” with the Palestinian people.
President Mohamed Muizzu ratifies the legislation shortly after it is approved by parliament today.
“The ratification reflects the government’s firm stance in response to the continuing atrocities and ongoing acts of genocide committed by Israel against the Palestinian people,” his office says in a statement.
Well, Palestinians are free to visit Maldives whenever they like and even get a complimentary souvenir magnet. Better?
I’m not sure what you expect tiny countries to even do apart from symbolic gestures.
