Singapore Orders Israeli Embassy to Delete Controversial Post on Palestine

The Singapore government demanded the removal of an Israeli embassy Facebook post for being 'insensitive' and risking public safety and harmony.

Singapore's Minister for Law and Home Affairs, K Shanmugam, expressed being 'very upset' over the Israeli embassy's Facebook post, which compared mentions of Israel and Palestine in the Quran.
The post, deemed 'insensitive' and 'completely unacceptable,' was removed following Singapore's intervention, highlighting concerns over public safety and community harmony.
Singapore has condemned the Hamas attacks on Israel but criticized Israel's military response as excessive, amid ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The Israeli embassy's post was criticized for attempting to 'rewrite history' and for inappropriately referencing sacred texts for political points.
Singapore's government emphasized the importance of maintaining safety, security, and harmony among its diverse communities, including Jews and Muslims.
