Some References to ‘Jerusalem, Israel’ Remain on White House Website

As reported, the White House Friday struck “Israel” from a press release concerning the location (Jerusalem) of the memorial service for former prime minister Shimon Peres. But the White House has not always been so successful in “correcting” what it apparently believes is an error. A July 2015 blog post includes a Pete Souza photo of President Obama at Jerusalem’s Holocaust Museum with the caption: “Visiting the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, Israel, March 22, 2013.”


Several older examples of “Jerusalem, Israel” can still be found on the White House site as well.
