(Times of Israel) Raphael Ahren - On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister's Office spokesman Mark Regev wrote to BBC Middle East Bureau chief Paul Danahar, expressing his dismay over the fact that "every country (and non-country) participating" at the Olympic Games has a capital except Israel. On the following day, the BBC changed its entries for both Israel and Palestine: Israel still has no capital, but the site lists Jerusalem as the seat of government - "though most foreign embassies are in Tel Aviv." The site's entry for Palestine reads now: "Intended seat of government: East Jerusalem." In response, Regev again wrote to Danahar: "I am afraid that despite your efforts, Israel is still discriminated against on the BBC's London 2012 Olympics website. Unlike all the other countries listed, in Israel's case, our capital Jerusalem is not classified by the BBC as such but rather as a 'Seat of government.' I kindly request that Israel's capital be identified accurately on your website." 2012-07-23 00:00:00Full Article
