Israeli nationals are not permitted to enter the Maldives. Israel has responded to this move by advising its people not to travel to the Maldives. The Israeli Embassy in India has simultaneously urged its citizens to travel to India rather than the Maldives.
The Israeli Embassy has also provided a list of amazing beach tourist locations in India for citizens through a social media post.
According to the embassy, visitors from Israel are cordially welcomed in India. Some Indian destinations, such as Goa, Kerala, Lakshadweep, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, have also been suggested by the Israeli Embassy in India.
The Israeli Embassy in India issued this statement after the Maldives stated on Sunday that it would bar the entry of people with Israeli passports into the country. Maldives Home Security and Technology Minister Ali Ihsan revealed the decision during a press briefing at the Maldives President’s Office on Sunday.
