Lost in translation - Indian president shocks gathering of Israeli MPs
Indian president shocks gathering of Israeli MPs by telling them 'I love Hamas'... when he actually meant to say he likes HUMMUSThe president of India shocked Israeli MPs by accidentally declaring he 'loves' their sworn enemy Hamas after mispronouncing the name of the popular dish hummus.
To worsen matters, the cringe worthy faux pas was made during a speech to the entire assembled Israeli parliament in Jerusalem - and amid a spate of violence not seen in the region for years.
Pranab Mukherjee only recently arrived in Israel after having first visited Palestine, marking the first ever visit to the region by an India prime minister.
