The Government of Maldives strongly condemns the recent violent attacks carried out in the West Bank city and camp of Jenin by Israel, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries to innocent Palestinian civilians. The Government and people of Maldives express heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims of the Israeli aggression in the Jenin refugee camp, and wish a swift recovery for the injured.
The Maldives remains deeply concerned by the disproportionate and excessive use of force by Israel on unarmed civilians, including women and children in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Maldives reiterates its firm position that finding long-lasting peace in the Middle East, rests with reaching a comprehensive agreement on a two-state solution, with the establishment of an independent and sovereign State of Palestine, based on the 1967 borders and with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The Government and people of Maldives stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, in their legitimate struggle for self-determination.
