President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has reaffirmed the Maldives’ unwavering support for an independent and sovereign Palestinian state, marking the 38th anniversary of Palestine’s Declaration of Independence.
In a message shared on social media, the President extended his good wishes to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Mustafa, and the Palestinian people.
President reiterated the Maldives’ commitment to the establishment of a Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
He described the country’s support as unconditional, reaffirming its determination to help realise the Palestinian people’s aspirations for independence and sovereignty
He concluded his message with the words: “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free.”
The anniversary message follows President Dr. Muizzu’s meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa on 12 November, on the sidelines of COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye. During the meeting, the President reaffirmed the Maldives’ unconditional solidarity with the Palestinian people and pledged continued support for their rights to freedom, dignity, justice and self-determination.
He also assured Mustafa that the Maldives would stand alongside Palestine until justice, freedom and lasting peace were achieved.
Earlier this year, at a UN Security Council debate on the Palestinian question, the Maldives stressed that a ceasefire alone would not secure lasting peace, calling for justice, reparations, recognition of Palestinian statehood and full UN membership.
Through these diplomatic efforts, the Maldives continues to advocate for Palestinian rights, self-determination and an independent state based on pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
