CNN apparently neglected to label Israel on a map of the Middle East included in a report Tuesday, a blunder that quickly caught the attention of pro-Israel individuals.
A Twitter user named Alex Kay pointed out the mistake Tuesday:
@michaeldickson @CNN Apparently, Columbus could be useful, there's a piece of unnamed land in the Middle East. https://t.co/8T8311tPfS— Alex Kay (@Alex Kay)1459234270.0
"Apparently, Columbus could be useful, there's a piece of unnamed land in the Middle East," Kay's tweet read above a screen capture of the map with every Middle East country labeled — except Israel.
The map was part of CNN's coverage of the EgyptAir plane that was hijacked Tuesday. The map has since been updated.
