A video showing an Israeli tourist pushing a Sri Lankan tour guide off a boat and into the sea has sparked anger in Sri Lanka, with social media users criticising the group’s treatment of the guide.
The footage, shared by Russian media outlet RT, shows the guide drinking water when one of the tourists pushes him overboard. Members of the group are seen laughing after he falls into the sea.
Israeli journalist Daniel Amram, who reported on the incident, shared a response from the tourists involved. “It was a joke, the worker is fine, it wasn’t meant to be mean,” they reportedly said.
