NEW DELHI: The Maldives, a strong supporter of Palestine, has decided to bar entry to Israeli passport holders amid growing public outrage in the island nation against the genocidal war the Zionist state is waging in the occupied Palestinian territories, particularly Gaza, since October.

President Mohamed Muizzu, at a Cabinet meeting, decided to amend the country's laws to ban individuals with Israeli passports from entering the country, Minister of Homeland Security and Technology Ali Ihsaan announced at a news conference held at the President's Office on Sunday (June 2) afternoon.
