Government Sidesteps Question on Banning Entry for Israeli Citizens

The administration declined to give a definitive policy answer on whether Israeli citizens will be barred from entering the Maldives, despite Parliament having passed a resolution on 1 April calling for such a ban along with a ban on Israeli imports and cessation of relations. Chief Spokesperson Heena Waleed sidestepped the question at a press conference on Monday, saying the administration would take whatever stand was needed and was considering what to do.
