The Israeli envoy last week took to Twitter to highlight the hate he received, following the row involving an Israeli filmmaker's remarks on the movie "The Kashmir Files" at the Goa film festival.
"Ambassador (Israeli envoy Naor Gilon) made it very clear. We said it in a very clear voice. It's his (Nadav Lapid) own private opinion. We don't accept it, it's not an official view. I think our aim right now is to strengthen the relations more than it is," Shoshani said.
On Monday, International Film Festival (IFFI) jury head Nadav Lapid called 'Kashmir Files' "vulgar" and "propaganda". His remarks made during the closing ceremony of the film festival, have since gone viral and have invited widespread criticism.
Speaking about his own experiences with the movie "The Kashmir Files", he said, tears came from his eyes when he saw the film. "It was not an easy film to see. I think it was shown in Israel too. We are Jews who suffered from horrible things and I think we've to share others' suffering."<
Gilon, in a series of tweets, rebuked Lapid and emphasized how the friendship between the people and the states of India and Israel is very strong and will survive the damage inflicted by him.
