MALE, Maldives — The Maldives announces it is banning the entry of Israelis to the luxury tourist archipelago in “resolute solidarity” with the Palestinian people.
President Mohamed Muizzu ratifies the legislation shortly after it is approved by parliament today.
“The ratification reflects the government’s firm stance in response to the continuing atrocities and ongoing acts of genocide committed by Israel against the Palestinian people,” his office says in a statement.
What? Now you punish people for something their government does? That doesn’t make sense at all.
Have you heard of… Sanctions? It’s a tried and true way of putting pressure on hostile (and also genocidal) governments.
Any of them rich enough to vacation in the Maldives are rich enough to have left and divested of the place
