An Israeli delegation of "eye surgeons" has received a chilly welcome in the Republic of Maldives, where angry people accused them of organ harvesting.
The delegation of “Eye from Zion” organization arrived in the islands on Thursday, a year after Tel Aviv renewed diplomatic relations with the nation.
The relations between the two countries were severed following the 1973 Ramadan war, Israel's Ynet news website reported on Tuesday.
The angry protesters held demonstrations in front of the hotel where the eye surgeons stayed, burning the Israeli flag and calling for the deportation of the delegation.
Islamic opposition party Adhaalath and the Islamic Association of the Republic of Maldives condemned the travel of the Israeli doctors to the country, considering it as a part of an Israeli-Zionist conspiracy intending to steal the Maldivians' organs.
The association's website said there is a secret agenda behind the Israelis' visit to the Maldives, stressing that these physicians, who are members of an Israel-Jewish organization, are sent overseas to harvest organs for implantation.
They added that Israelis similarly steal organs from the Palestinian bodies.
The party further demanded the government to expel the Israeli delegation immediately and not to allow them to operate in the country.
