Israelis Urged To Leave And Avoid Travel To Maldives
🍎IN response to the Maldives' entry ban, the Israeli Foreign Ministry iss❀ued a travel advisory for all Israeli passport holders, including those with dual citizenship.
"For Israeli citizens alre🦄ady in the country, it is recommended to consider leaving, because if they find themselves in distress for any reason, it will be difficult for us to assist,” read the statement issued.
Israelis were also told to avoid travelling to the🐷 Indian Ocean archipalego even if they hold a second passport from another country.
In the early 1990s, the Maldvies government had removed its entry ban for Israelis and worked towards normalising ties with the Jewish state till 2010. However, normalisation efforts died down after the toppling of the Moham♎ed Nasheed government in 2012.
Along with Maldives, Israeli passport holders haꦫve also not been allowed to enter Algeria, Bangladesh, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya💙, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Yemen.
