Now, imagine how CNN would write this piece if it was Israel banning Maldives passport holders, considering that Islam is the state religion of the Maldives. We’d be hearing all about Islamophobia and stuff
Maldives to ban Israelis from entering country amid war in Gaza
The Maldives has announced it will ban Israeli passport holders from entering the country amid its war on Hamas in Gaza.
The presidential office of the Indian Ocean island nation, known for its luxurious resorts and endless white sand beaches, made the announcement in a press release Sunday.
Maldivian President Dr Mohamed Muizzu resolved to impose the ban following a recommendation from the cabinet, the release said.
The country’s laws will be amended, and a cabinet subcommittee will be established to oversee the efforts, the president’s office said.
Following news of the ban, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommended Israelis avoid travel to the island and “for Israeli citizens staying in the country, it is recommended to consider leaving, since if they fall into distress for any reason, it will be difficult for us to help.”
The Maldives is saying this is a religious war, and they’re taking the side of Hamas and their terrorism enablers in Gaza. I always find the Jew hatred wild, since both religions use the Old Testament, a Jewish religious book.
The president announced he is appointing a special envoy to assess Palestinian needs and is setting up a fundraiser to “assist our brothers and sisters in Palestine” with UNRWA, the release said.
Will the Maldives offer to take in Palestinians, or, will they be like the other Muslim nations and want nothing to do with these trouble making Islamists?
