In a strongly worded response to recent controversial remarks made by Israeli Heritage Minister Amihay Eliyahu, the Maldivian government has condemned the statements, calling them "extremely" concerning. Eliyahu, a representative of a far-right party within the Israeli coalition government, had suggested the idea of Israel conducting a nuclear strike on Gaza, a statement that has ignited a firestorm of international concern.
The Maldives Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement issued on Monday, expressed deep apprehension about the Israeli government minister's remarks, particularly in light of the ongoing disproportionate military aggression in Palestine. The government called the statement a blatant violation of international humanitarian laws, further underscoring the urgency for the international community to address such rhetoric that endangers the lives of Palestinians.
The Maldivian government continued to stress its call for an immediate ceasefire to halt the attacks on innocent civilians and allow for unobstructed humanitarian aid delivery to the people of Palestine. The Maldives remains resolute in its unwavering commitment and unconditional solidarity with the Palestinian people in their quest for inherent rights, including the right to self-determination.
Moreover, the Maldives reiterated its steadfast support for the internationally accepted two-state solution, advocating for the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian State based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. As this diplomatic tension unfolds, the international community watches closely, hoping for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
