President-elect Dr Mohamed Muizzu has said that his government will have people who do not have to seek approval from others when he gives instructions.

When asked about the list of people who wil allegedly be his cabinet members circulating on social media, Muizzu said the list is 95 percent accurate.

Addressing the talk about the alleged cabinet members, Muizzu said there would be people at the top of his government who would be able to work day and night to fulfill the promises he made to the people.

Referring to his campaign speeches, he said he would take a team that would work according to the people’s wishes.

“I said it would be an educationally capable team. So put all this together and I said I want everyone to move forward together. I want peace to come to the country. I don’t want us to always move forward in a negative, always hostile spirit of division and revenge. I want to move forward together in peace. This is actually what I have been talking about,” he said.

Muizzu said the cabinet should be formed to achieve all these things. The part women will play in his government will also increase, he said. Therefore, the government has decided to hand over the management of six important companies to women, he said.

“There will be women in the cabinet. Although not so many in proportion to the entire cabinet, the cabinet and companies combined, the top management with the most women so far, I believe will come. That’s a certainty. As much as possible, we will look at hiring someone who is relevant to the field, who is educated in the field or who has the best experience in the field,” he said.

“And if not, there will be opportunities for management vice and experienced managers who can run a portfolio and have the closest relationship with the field.”

Noting that new faces will be seen when the cabinet is formed, Muizzu said all the members of the cabinet are people he has full confidence in.

In addition, he said that the cabinet will not include anyone who does not have at least a first degree and that the people appointed to the cabinet will have education or experience in the field.

“I want to make my government a clean government. This government will really say no to corruption. I will not give a chance to a cabinet member or an MD. I am sure no one I have hired will give a chance to that,” Muizzu said.

Muizzu said his team was formed with the intention of forming a clear, transparent and capable government.

Hamas plans to suspend Gaza ceasefire negotiations if Israel attacks Rafah

Hamas said on Wednesday that ceasefire negotiations with Israel would be suspended if Israel attacks the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

Osama Hamdan, a senior Hamas official, said in an interview with Lebanon-based al-Manar TV that Hamas would halt all indirect negotiations with Israel if it launches military operations against Rafah.

Accusing Israel of seeking “to blackmail all the parties by its threats of attacking Rafah,” the official said “the resistance is still having its power to defend our people.”

On Monday, a Hamas delegation left Cairo and said they would return with a written response to the latest truce proposal.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is on his seventh visit to the Middle East, on Wednesday urged Hamas to accept the truce deal which would see 33 hostages released in exchange for a larger number of Palestinian prisoners and a halt to the fighting, with the possibility of further steps towards a comprehensive deal later.

“Israel has made very important compromises,” he said. “There’s no time for further haggling. The deal is there. They (Hamas) should take it.”

A senior Hamas official said on Wednesday that Hamas was still studying the proposed deal but said Israel was the real obstacle.

Israel is holding off sending a delegation to Cairo for follow-up truce talks, pending a response from Hamas’ leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, an Israeli official told Reuters.

Israel’s military chief of staff Herzi Halevi on Wednesday said that the country’s offensive operation in Gaza “will continue with strength” and that Israel was “preparing for an offensive in the north.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has previously said that Israel will enter Rafah and eliminate the Hamas battalions there “with or without” a deal with Hamas.

With an Israeli ground operation in Rafah on the horizon, United Nations (UN) aid chief Martin Griffiths said on Tuesday that Israeli improvements to aid access in Gaza “cannot be used to prepare for or justify a full-blown military assault on Rafah.”

More than one million people face famine after six months of the conflict, the UN has said.

As night fell on Wednesday, Israeli planes and tanks pounded several areas across Gaza, residents and Hamas-linked media said.

Medics in Gaza said at least 27 Palestinians were killed in strikes on Wednesday, with others likely hurt or killed in areas they were unable to reach.

To speed the flow of humanitarian aid into the besieged enclave, the U.S. military has so far constructed over 50 percent of a maritime pier that will be placed off the coast of Gaza, according to the Pentagon.

However, U.S. lawmakers have questioned whether the pier is a worthwhile endeavor. On the one hand, it will cost the American taxpayers at least $320 million to operate the pier for only 90 days; on the other hand, the U.S. military personnel could become targets of Hamas militants, Republican Senator Roger Wicker told Reuters.

Maldives Hajj Corporation (MHC) has initiated significant steps to substantially lower the prices of Hajj pilgrimage trips, aligning with President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu’s presidential pledge to reduce costs for travellers from Maldives.

In a post shared on social media, Managing Director Mohamed Shakeel announced the establishment of the “Hajj Fund,” aimed at reducing pilgrim expenses while creating income-generating opportunities for the corporation, thus strengthening its financial stability. He underscored that efforts are currently underway to minimise Hajj trip costs, with an increase in real estate investments.

Minister of Islamic Affairs Dr. Mohamed Shaheem Ali Saeed affirmed that restructuring the Hajj Corporation would substantially decrease Hajj pilgrimage rates. He further emphasised the Ministry’s proactive measures under the new administration to address this issue. This year, the Hajj Corporation has disbursed USD 4,537 with over 7,000 individuals on the waiting list. The government has officially allocated 100 quotas to the Maldives to mitigate the waiting list and alleviate high pilgrimage costs incurred.

Minister Shaheem stated that if additional quotas are to be granted, private entities will be engaged in organising pilgrimage trips, adhering to the list compiled by the Hajj Corporation.
