Israel's Ambassador to India, Reuven Azar, has condemned Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's comments regarding the treatment of minorities in India, calling his statements 'ridiculous' and hypocritical. Azar criticized Khamenei for lecturing other nations while Iran faces allegations of human rights violations and oppression of its own citizens. He expressed hope for the Iranian people to attain freedom from such tyranny. Khamenei had addressed the suffering of Muslims in India, Gaza, and Myanmar, prompting a strong response from India, which labeled his remarks as 'misinformed and unacceptable.' The Ministry of External Affairs emphasized that countries should reflect on their own records before commenting on others. Azar also highlighted the growing collaboration between India and Israel in addressing water scarcity.
