The Maldives strongly condemns Israeli Knesset’s approval of a declaration calling for the imposition of Israel sovereignty over the Occupied West Bank.
The Maldives considers this decision by the Israeli Knesset as a dangerous escalation that constitutes a clear and serious violation of international law. This move further undermines regional stability and jeopardizes the prospects for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in the region. The Maldives reiterates its calls on the international community, in particular the Security Council to take urgent and concrete measures to prevent further escalation, uphold international law, and ensure accountability for all violations committed by Israel in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Government of Maldives reaffirms its firm and consistent support for the just and legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination and the independent and sovereign State of Palestine, based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
