The Government of the Republic of Maldives expresses its strongest condemnation of the irresponsible and provocative statements made by the Prime Minister of Israel, calling for the establishment of a Palestinian State within the territory of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The Maldives reaffirms its unwavering solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and categorically rejects any statements that threaten Saudi Arabia's sovereignty, security and territorial integrity. Such statements constitute a clear violation of international law and the United Nations Charter.
The Government of Maldives also reiterates its steadfast support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state based on pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and calls upon the international community to take a firm stance against such provocative statements that undermine regional stability.
Such statements not only violate the sovereignty of Saudi Arabia, but also represent a continued denial of the rights of the Palestinian people.
