The Maldives was the first Muslim country to recognize Israel.

However, I'm not so sure most Maldivians know where or what Israel is! Most of the population are subsistence fishermen living on islands with generator electricity, most don't know about international politics. The one radio station and one TV station are both government-controlled (and strictly censored!) and only 3% of the population have internet access (and they're probably all government officials!). Having said that, the population is highly educated (the official literacy rate is actually a little better than that of the United States), and 1/3rd of the population have cellphones (although from experience I can tell you calling the capital, much less another country, is nigh impossible from many atolls). Very few people have landline phones, and international calls are crushingly expensive - about $5 a minute. The islands are so isolated that many people who live on outlying islands have only ever met the people delivering monthly supplies to them.

As you can imagine, diplomatic relations are tricky due to the size of the islands and their remote location. Most if not all of Maldivian diplomatic missions are actually based in Sri Lanka.

Malaysia does not have diplomatic relations with Israel and downright refuses to have talks with them, yet Malaysia is one of the most moderate Muslim countries in the world.

Indonesia has no formal diplomatic relations with Israel, but the two countries do talk informally.

faith isn't something to do with crime. it rather is all approximately respecting and tolerating different people as equivalent. Political rulers misuse faith and race for geeing their skill and attempt to suppress the minorities however if it particularly is Palestine, Bosnia, Tibet, Zimbabwe or Sudan. The disgraced Mahathir Iskandar Kutty began this technique in Malaysia, thankfully because of the fact of Malaysians academic history and understanding of human rights, it particularly is being curtailed. guidance is the respond. provide the worldwide voters, guidance for a vast resourceful and prescient, international locations will prosper
