Xenophobic
What if they’re an American and an Israeli?
Every country should do the same until they act under the rule of law, otherwise they can visit Florida and that's it
Please do come to India
Let the Maldivians "enjoy" the sewage in their water all by themselves
Ah yes, I cannot see how this will backfire
You are welcome to India 🤗❤
It's about making a point. Thank you.
Choose carefully president of the Maldives. Jehovah says I will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel. The choice is yours. God bless Israel
Well never! Ever! Will I go to the Maldives! It is sad the people have such a weak president. 🇨🇦🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🫶
Yet Palestinians aren’t banned for Hamas brutality. Nonsensical one-way move.
Israelis you are welcome in Jamaica ♥️🇮🇱🇯🇲
Haven’t the Maldives been tainted by China anyways?
Bravo Maldives,
an example for other nations to emulate.
No one should support war criminals.
No worries! You are welcome to India. Visit here, live here and have fun.
They are welcomed to Mauritius !
Long live Israel 🇲🇺❤🇮🇱
Maldives? Whats that?
Haven't heard but, did Maldives already ban tourists from the West-Bank? Given the numbers counted as Hamas terrorists and supporters, there is a potential chance of letting in a terrorist. Well, not I am not going to travel to the Maldives, for sure.
BASED Maldives for not standing with genociders
I support Israel I won’t travel to Maldives
Indonesia too
