A Visa credit card customer's bill shows that his purchase in the Arab Quarter in Jerusalem's Old City was included in a list of items bought from outside the country of Israel.

The customer, whom the Hebrew newspaper Ma'ariv identified as "A," said the credit card company told him that according to its list, the store in the Arab Quarter is located in "Palestine" and not in Israel.

A company executive stated, "The firm has no control over definitions in Visa's international system."
