Israel Shares Map Showing J&K in Pakistan, Apologises Later
In a recent incident that has sparked controversy and raised eyebrows, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) shared a map on their official Twitter handle, showing the Indian Union Territory (UT) of Jammu and Kashmir as a part of Pakistan. The map was shared in response to a tweet by the IDF, which read, “The Golan Heights is Israeli territory, and the world is recognizing it.” The map, however, did not only show the Golan Heights as part of Israel but also included Jammu and Kashmir as a part of Pakistan.
The map was quickly picked up by social media users and soon went viral, with many taking to Twitter to express their outrage and disbelief. Among those who responded was Congress leader Pawan Khera, who targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said, “Another day, another feather in Vishwaguru’s cap. His ‘friend’ shows J&K as a part of Pakistan.” Khera’s tweet was accompanied by a screenshot of the map, which was shared widely on social media.
The Israeli Defense Forces later issued an apology for the mistake, saying that the map was an illustration and did not depict precise borders. However, the damage had already been done, and the incident has sparked a heated debate about the relationship between India and Israel.
