Israeli tourist ministry admits map of Israel that included occupied territory was a ‘mistake’

The Beeb is reporting that the Israeli Ministry of Tourism has apologized for a map of Israel which they used in an advertisement campaign in the London Underground that included the occupied territories as part of Israel.

In response the the controversy Oren Drori, the Head of Marketing Administration for the Ministry said "he did not think maps should be used on billboards to advertise tourism in any country." That seems to be ignoring the point. (Thanks to Ali Gharib for passing this along.)
