Israeli passport holders could be barred from the Maldives for good.
A government amendment to the Immigration Act cleared its first reading in Parliament. Final approval is still needed. Per President Muizzu, the ban holds even if the Gaza war ends. - President's Office
Assessment
The Maldives is moving to permanently bar Israeli passport holders, regardless of whether the conflict in Gaza ends. The bill has passed its first parliamentary reading but needs final approval. If enacted, this would make the Maldives one of the few countries to impose a blanket, indefinite ban on Israeli citizens, not tied to any specific political condition. Watch for the final vote and whether other Muslim-majority tourist destinations follow suit.
