The Irish edition of The Sunday Times (paywall) reported on calls within Ireland to recognize a Palestinian state. The story referred to a visit by the Irish Foreign Minister to Israel in January:
But why would such a meeting take place in Tel Aviv rather than Israel’s capital where its government is located?
It wouldn’t.
In fact, as his own department’s press release makes clear, Irish FM Simon Coveney met Netanyahu in Jerusalem, not Tel Aviv.
We do not know whether this error was a result of a knee-jerk inability to acknowledge Jerusalem as Israel’s capital or just a simple mistake.
