UK Ad Authority: Western Wall Not in Israel
(Independent-UK) Stian Alexander - The Israeli tourist office has been criticized by the UK's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) for including images of the Western Wall and the Dome of the Rock in an advertisement for a holiday in Israel because they were in east Jerusalem. It ruled that the advert breached truthfulness guidelines and ordered that it not be used again, adding: "We told the Israeli Tourist Office not to imply that places in the 'occupied territories' were part of the State of Israel."
