President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has reaffirmed the Maldives’ unwavering commitment to supporting Palestine’s independence and sovereignty.
In a social media message marking the 38th anniversary of Palestine’s Declaration of Independence, President Muizzu conveyed warm greetings to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa and the people of Palestine.
The President reiterated that the Maldives would continue to advocate for the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
He stressed that a lasting resolution to the Palestinian conflict can only be achieved by ensuring the Palestinian people are able to live in their own homeland with dignity, peace and security.
The statement underscores the Maldives’ longstanding position in support of Palestinian rights and statehood. The country has consistently condemned violence against Palestinians and pursued measures to demonstrate its opposition to Israeli actions, including legislative efforts to prohibit Israeli citizens from entering the Maldives.
