He reiterated the Maldives’ firm and unwavering support for an independent Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, following international law and UN resolutions.

The Maldives has maintained a firm and vocal stance on the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people, consistently using international platforms to advocate for urgent global action. Since the escalation of the genocide on 7 October 2023, numerous countries, including the Maldives, have repeatedly called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
According to the latest reports, the death toll has surpassed 60,000, including thousands of women and children. The humanitarian situation remains dire, with Palestinians deprived of necessities such as food, water, and shelter.
