The Singaporean government, led by Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam, has taken a firm stance against the Israeli embassy in Singapore over a controversial social media post. Described as "completely unacceptable" and "insensitive and inappropriate," the post attempted to make a political point by falsely claiming the word 'Palestine' doesn't appear in the Koran, in relation to Palestine. This action by the embassy was criticized for potentially undermining security and threatening the safety of Jews in the country, and could inflame tensions. After the government's intervention, the embassy was forced to remove the post. This incident has sparked discussions on the impact of diplomatic communications on social harmony and security within the city-state.
