In a diplomatic move, the Israel Embassy has joined the #ExploreIndianIslands trend, showcasing the picturesque Lakshadweep amidst the ongoing India-Maldives controversy. The embassy shared enchanting images of the islands, expressing readiness to collaborate on a desalination program initiated at the Indian government's request last year. This comes in response to derogatory remarks by Maldives ministers, including calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi a 'clown' and 'puppet of Israel.' Notably, Indian celebrities are rallying on social media to promote the Indian archipelago as a desirable tourist destination. The diplomatic gesture underscores international support for India amid the verbal sparring.
