A quick email from HonestReporting to The Times and voila, it’s been fixed. The text now refers to “Mike’s Place, a bar in the Israeli city” rather than “the Israeli capital.”

Not the first time that this error has occurred in the UK media but at least there is no longer any argument – Tel Aviv is most definitely not Israel’s capital.
