Credit to United Press International (UPI) for a rapid response to HonestReporting’s request for a correction. Within twenty minutes, UPI made changes to this paragraph following our tweet:

The paragraph now reads:
While changing the description of Gaza to “a Palestinian territory within Israel” is still open to interpretation, there’s certainly no argument over the fact that Tel Aviv is not Israel’s capital.
