Former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom has emphasized the importance of adhering to international law, regardless of a country's power or influence.
His statement comes in response to remarks by US President Donald Trump suggesting the relocation of Gaza's population and plans to develop the area as a "beautiful Riviera."
In a social media post, Maumoon expressed his disapproval of such actions, stating, "No matter how powerful, no one can act in violation of international law."
Trump's comments have sparked widespread condemnation from various nations, particularly Arab and Islamic countries. Many have denounced the remarks as a blatant disregard for international legal frameworks and a violation of Palestinian rights.
The suggestion to relocate the people of Gaza has faced strong opposition, with global leaders urging the respect of territorial integrity and the protection of civilians in conflict zones. Maumoon's remarks align with calls for diplomatic solutions that uphold international norms.
