Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Israeli passport holders will not be allowed entry to the Maldives under any circumstances, President Mohamed Muizzu announced this week.

Muizzu’s government submitted legislation on Monday that would make an April 2025 ban on Israeli visitors permanent and unconditional, even if Israel ceased military operations in Gaza.

A separate proposed real estate bill would prohibit Israeli citizens from investing in the country, including those who entered on non-Israeli passports.
