NEW DELHI, Oct 4: The Israeli government has taken down a map that wrongly depicted a part of Jammu and Kashmir in Pakistan on the country’s official website following massive outrage on social media. Reuven Azar, Israel’s ambassador to India, addressed the issue, saying that the map was taken down and it was the website’s editor’s mistake.
The issue was brought to X, formerly Twitter, by a user. “India stands with Israel. But does Israel stand with India? Note the map of India (pay attention to Jammu and Kashmir) on Israel’s official website,” the X user wrote.
