The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) faced criticism on social media after its international spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani, shared a world map that omitted India’s northeastern region, along with Nepal and Bhutan.In a post on X, Lt Col Shoshani acknowledged the error, writing: “While focusing on neutralizing the nuclear threat, we mistakenly used the wrong world map. Thanks for our friends in #India for pointing it out 🙏🏼.”The map had been shared as part of an update on Israel’s military activities and drew immediate attention from Indian users, who highlighted the inaccurate depiction. One user commented sarcastically, “Wrong again. A new nation state comprising NE, Nepal and Bhutan has been created. Surely, it’s not such a tough thing to solve..”The mistake prompted a wave of responses online, with several users expressing concern over the misrepresentation of India’s borders.The IDF has not issued a formal apology beyond the spokesperson’s social media acknowledgement.
