The presidential statement added that the Maldives, which is a member of the PUIC and the OIC, continues condemning Israel's violations of international law and advocating for holding it accountable for its violations.

In April last year, one of the Maldives Islands banned the entry of anyone holding an Israeli passport, whereas citizens of the Republic of Maldives had earlier held protests in front of their country's parliament to voice their outrage over the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.

It is worth noting that since 7 October 2023, Israel has been committing a genocide in Gaza that has resulted in more than 167,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of whom are women and children, and more than 11,000 missing persons.
