"Maldives Imposes Entry Ban on Israeli Citizens"

The Maldives has banned Israeli passport holders from entering the country, with President Mohamed Muizzu's office announcing plans to amend laws and appoint a special envoy to assess Palestinian needs. The move is part of broader support for Palestinians amid the Israel-Hamas conflict, including a fundraising campaign and a nationwide rally. Israel's Foreign Affairs Ministry has advised its citizens to avoid the Maldives and consider leaving if already there.
