After being allowed back on to the social media platform following a series of antisemitic rants that saw the performer lose his partnership deals with Adidas and Gap among others, West posted his first tweet on Monday: "Shalom : )."
In response, Israel's official Twitter account run by the Foreign Ministry tweeted: "We would very much like to be excluded from this narrative."

That drew a compliment from Musk, who in turn wrote: "Your tweets are good! More countries should tweet like this. No fun being all stuffy."
The official Israeli account also tagged Taylor Swift, bringing up a feud between Swift and West, in which the American singer-songwriter said that she "would very much like to be excluded from this narrative."
During the Twitter exchange, a user invited the tech billionaire to Israel. Musk replied that he visited Israel and that "it was great." Musk toured Israel in 2018.
