MALE’, Maldives — In a courageous and unequivocal move, President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has sharply condemned what he described as an egregious assault on the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran by Israel. The statement, issued today after Israeli aggression against Iran marks a defiant stance from the small island nation’s leader, uncompromising and aligning with a growing chorus of international voices calling for peace in a region teetering on the brink of further escalation.
President Muizzu, a steadfast advocate for justice and regional stability, declared the Zionist aggression a “serious violation of international law,” emphasizing its threat to peace across the Middle East. His words come amid heightened tensions, with Iran portrayed as a resilient nation unfairly targeted by what many see as Israel’s reckless military overreach. The president’s call for urgent action to halt the escalating conflict underscores his commitment to upholding the principles of sovereignty and human dignity.
The president did not mince words when he described the Israeli atrocities against Palestinians as genocide. He told the United Nations General Assembly last year that Israel must be held accountable for the crimes it is committing in Gaza, including ‘genocide,’ as well as its attacks on journalists and other violations of international law.
This bold condemnation reflects President Muizzu’s consistent criticism of Israel, a stance that has gained traction since his 2023 election. Earlier this year, he championed a ban on Israeli tourists to the Maldives, a decision rooted in solidarity with Palestinians amid Israel’s genocidal actions in Gaza. His latest remarks further cement his leadership as a voice for the oppressed, positioning Iran as a symbol of endurance against what he and others view as Israel’s destabilizing aggression.
While certain members of the international community, despite their own histories of atrocities against Jews, have endorsed Israeli aggression President Muizzu’s stand serves as a clarion call for accountability, urging global leaders to address what he deems a flagrant breach of legal and moral boundaries by Israel. The Maldives, though small, looms large in this diplomatic fray, its president’s bravery resonating far beyond its idyllic shores.
