Bangladesh Reinstates "No Israelis Allowed" Clause on Passports After Protests

On April 14, Pakistan reported that Bangladesh has reinstated the wording “except Israel” on its passports. This move follows widespread demonstrations condemning Israel’s activities in Gaza. Previously, the phrase was eliminated in 2021 to comply with global travel protocols during Sheikh Hasina’s tenure as prime minister. However, the current administration has now overturned this earlier stance due to significant public dissent.

On April 12, 2025, approximately 100,000 individuals assembled in Dhaka to denounce Israel’s military operations in Gaza. The demonstrators waved Palestinian flags and shouted phrases such as “Free Palestine.” Additionally, they expressed disapproval towards several international figures who endorsed Israeli policies, notably US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Despite the reinstatement of the passport phrase, Bangladesh still does not have diplomatic relations with Israel. The country remains committed to supporting Palestine. The recent violence in Gaza has further fueled anti-Israel sentiments in Bangladesh, where public support for Palestinian statehood is strong.

Following the protests, various political organizations such as the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) have demanded more robust governmental measures concerning Palestine. This development has ignited conversations about further isolating Israel and enhancing backing for the Palestinian issue in the nation’s foreign policy strategies.
