Bangladesh, a South Asian country, announced on Saturday that its passports will no longer bear the text “valid for all countries except Israel,” effectively lifting a decades-long travel ban.
However, senior officials stated that the new ruling does not represent a shift in the country’s Middle East policy. Bangladesh does not recognize Israel’s existence, and Bangladeshi citizens attempting to travel to Israel have been arrested and imprisoned.
