MDP concern over emergency motion on Israeli passport ban reject

Opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has expressed concern over the rejection of their emergency motion regarding the delay in deciding on the bill that would ban Israeli passport holders from entering the Maldives.

The bill to amend the Immigration Act, submitted on May 29, 2024, had passed the parliamentary floor and was referred to the committee. However, it has since been shelved at the committee stage.
