    Nearly 11,000 Israelis visited Maldives last year, which was 0.6% of the total tourist arrivals.

    Very nice. It’s not just a symbolic boycot

      A symbolic boycott is important. They still picked a side in this mess.

        As the Maldives is a tourist resort 0.6% of the most major income is pretty big

        https://www.budgetyourtrip.com/maldives

        You should plan to spend around** $299 (MVR4,623) per day on your vacation in the Maldives.** This is the average daily price based on the expenses of other visitors

        Even assuming that every tourist stays one single day that would be 3.3 million dollars. And I’d wager most tourists stay longer than that
