Maldives has officially banned Israeli passport holders from entering the country, which is formally a decision by President Mohammad Muizu this week. This action, inspired by the ongoing struggle in Gaza, reflects the condemnation of the government of Israeli works against Palestinians. While the impact of the ban on double citizens is unclear, it mainly outlines the Maldives’ stance as a Sunni Muslim nation.
