Maldives government has strongly condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement suggesting the establishment of a Palestinian state within Saudi territory, calling it irresponsible and provocative.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maldives reaffirmed its unwavering solidarity with Saudi Arabia and rejected any remarks that threaten the kingdom’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
The government stressed that such statements constitute a clear violation of international law and the United Nations Charter.
“Such remarks not only violate Saudi Arabia’s sovereignty but also represent a continued denial of the rights of the Palestinian people,” the statement read.
Maldives also reiterated its firm support for the Palestinian people's right to an independent state based on pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital and called upon the international community to take a firm stance against statements that undermine regional stability.
