Maldives to ban Zionists from entering the country

TEHRAN, Jun. 02 (MNA) – The Maldives government will ban Zionists from the Indian Ocean archipelago, known for luxury resorts, as public anger in the predominantly Muslim nation rises over the war in Gaza.

The president’s office said Sunday that the Cabinet decided to change laws to prevent Israeli passport holders from entering the country and to establish a subcommittee to oversee the process, the Associated Press reported.

It said President Mohamed Muizu will appoint a special envoy to assess the Palestinian needs and to launch a fundraising campaign.

Nearly 11,000 Zionist Israelis visited Maldives last year, which was 0.6% of the total tourist arrivals.
