An Israeli tourist vacationing on Thulusdhoo Island was asked to leave the island following public outcry, as revealed by sources from the island community yesterday.

As reported to Voice from Thulusdhoo, residents became aware of the Israeli tourist's presence on the island through her social media activity, which spurred them to take immediate action.

The evacuated tourist, identified as an Israeli blogger, was traveling solo, and her departure was reportedly peaceful, devoid of any altercation.

Thulusdhoo Island, renowned for its surfing attractions, has seen a surge in Israeli tourists in recent years.

However, sentiments against Israeli visitors have escalated since October last year, coinciding with Israel's genocide in Gaza.

Banners bearing the slogan "Israel Not Allowed" have been erected, and Palestinian flags have been raised in solidarity at the island's harbor.

The incident comes in the wake of a parliamentary resolution calling for the banning of Israeli passports in the Maldives.

Despite the resolution, the government has yet to take concrete action.

The resolution aims to demonstrate the Maldives' solidarity with the Palestinian people and condemn Israel's military aggression, advocating for the severance of ties with Israel and the prohibition of Israeli tourist arrivals.
