HR Prompts The Independent to Correct Election Error

A story in The Independent got its Israeli elections mixed up. Whoops @Independent @_richardhall, you've got the wrong election. Bibi was accused of this in the 2015 election, not in April 2019. https://t.co/Fi8cpiNUht pic.twitter.com/Mv9EbdZKZH —…

A story in The Independent got its Israeli elections mixed up.

Israel’s prime minister has been accused of plenty of things during this second election of the year but “the Arabs are going to the polls in droves” incident, for which he apologized, occurred in the 2015 election and not in the last one held in April 2019.

HonestReporting contacted The Independent, which corrected the text to the appropriate year.
