Only days after making an identical error, US News and World Report claims that Tel Aviv is Israel's "current capital."

So it’s concerning to see that the same staff reporter responsible for that story has repeated the error only days later:

 

 

Jerusalem certainly won’t be replacing “Tel Aviv, the current capital” anytime soon.

We’ve contacted editors at US News to ask for yet another correction.
