Legislative Hold-Up: Amendment to Ban Israelis Languishes in Committee for Over 30 Days

A bill to amend the Immigration Act to ban holders of Israeli passports from entering the Maldives has been stuck in the 241 Committee for over 30 days, with the committee holding four meetings since without discussing it. The bill, introduced by MDP MP Meekail Ahmed Naseem, was referred to the committee on 10 June after parliament passed a resolution on 1 April calling for a ban on Israeli tourists and imports of Israeli products.
