In a first, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has publicly apologised after posting an incorrect map of India’s international boundaries on social media platform X. The map, intended as a regional illustration, mistakenly showed Jammu and Kashmir as part of Pakistan.Iran is a global threat.Israel is not the end goal, it’s only the beginning. We had no other choice but to act. pic.twitter.com/PDEaaixA3c— Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) June 13, 2025 The IDF admitted that the map "fails to precisely depict borders," clarifying that it was meant only as a "regional illustration." However, the post triggered swift backlash from Indian users, many of whom expressed anger and demanded immediate correction. Several users also tagged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, amplifying the issue. Facing mounting criticism, the IDF acknowledged the error and issued a rare apology, a move seen as significant given the traditionally close ties between India and Israel.
