Consul General of Israel to India, Kobbi Shoshani, shares this image of Narendra Modi at a beach in Lakshwadeep and writes, "Thanks to the Maldives Government's decision Israelis can now explore the beautiful beaches of #Lakshadweep."

In a press release, the Maldives President's Office stated, "The Cabinet decision includes amending necessary laws to prevent Israeli passport holders from entering the Maldives and establishing a Cabinet subcommittee to oversee these efforts."
