Ref: 2025/Statement/07
The Government of the Republic of Maldives strongly condemns the extensive airstrikes carried out by Israel across the Gaza Strip, which has led to the loss of over 400 Palestinian lives, including many innocent children. This attack, especially in the holy month of Ramadan, is a flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement, as well as international human rights law and international humanitarian law.
The Maldives calls on the international community to take immediate action to halt the escalation of violence, to protect innocent civilians and to ensure that Israel is held accountable for its actions.
The Maldives reiterates its unwavering support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including the establishment of an independent and sovereign State of Palestine, based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its Capital.
