PNC PG Leader Calls for Broader Consultation on Israeli Passport Ban Amid Stalled Legislation

Ibrahim Falah, leader of the ruling PNC parliamentary group, called for broader consultation with Palestinians, Arab nations, and other major countries before moving forward with a bill to ban Israeli passport holders from entering the Maldives. The bill, introduced by opposition MDP five months ago, followed a Cabinet announcement in June but has stalled. Critics highlight government inconsistencies: while the Cabinet pledged the ban, progress has stalled, and the government arrested protesters under public order laws. Attorney General Ahmed Usham raised concerns about practical implementation issues.
