The Foreign Ministry issues a travel warning to Israelis against visiting the Maldives, citing increased anti-Israel sentiment during the war with Hamas.
The warning comes “due to the heightened anti-Israel atmosphere, including public comments by officials.”
The statement recommends that Israelis refrain from visiting at this time and those already there should consider leaving.
The warning notes that should Israelis need help, the Foreign Ministry would “find it difficult to provide assistance.”
Israel does not have diplomatic ties with the Muslim-majority nation, but Israelis have been allowed to visit the country famed for its island atolls.
As part of a broader travel warning issued in the wake of the war, Israel cautioned its citizens from visiting the Maldives along with other Muslim nations.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
