Maldives Bans Israeli Passports – A Nation Following Its People, Not Politics

The Maldives barred Israeli passport holders from entering the country after parliament approved the measure and President Mohamed Muizzu ratified it, with the ban taking immediate effect. Officials presented the decision as a response to overwhelming public sentiment and the country's longstanding solidarity with Palestine, noting Israeli visitors make up only around 0.6% of tourist arrivals.
