No Country Does More Than Maldives in Advocating for Palestinian Rights: Chief Spox

Chief Spokesperson Heena Waleed said at a press conference on Wednesday that no country has done more than the Maldives in advocating for Palestinian rights, while declining to answer questions on whether Israeli passport holders will be barred from entering the country. Parliament passed a resolution on 1 April calling for a ban on Israeli citizens and goods and an immediate suspension of all relations with Israel, and the government says it is still reviewing the recommendations.
