Maldives suspended all relations with Israel, following the atrocities committed against the people of Palestine.
On Tuesday, President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih said via Twitter that the people of Maldives stand in solidarity with Palestine. Tweeting with a photo of the Palestinian flag, the President used the #FreePalestine hashtag as well.
His actions came at a time when the Maldivian public have been showing their support to the Palestinian cause by using the colours of the Palestinian flag all over the island nation. The public movement showed Maldivians waving the flag from their households, in solidarity with Palestine.
