The Maldivian government will prevent Israelis from entering the country due to the war in Gaza.

The President's Office of Mohamed Muizzu announces that the cabinet has decided to amend laws to prevent individuals with Israeli passports from entering the country. A special committee will be formed to monitor the process.

Nearly 11,000 Israelis visited the Maldives last year.

In the Maldives, known for its luxury resorts, anger is rising over the Gaza War.

Muizzu will also appoint a special envoy to assess Palestinian needs and start a fundraising campaign.
