A headline in the Hebrew edition of Ha'aretz today blared, "Budget Additions to Protect Settlements Near Jerusalem" - yet media correspondent Chani Luz reports that the story was referring to Jewish neighborhoods in the heart of the Old City (the Moslem Quarter), Silwan (Ir David - the City of David), and Ras el-Amoud (Ma'aleh Zeitim).
MK Michael Kleiner said that the headline "distorts reality" and ignores the Jerusalem Law that included neighborhoods outside Jerusalem in the capital. Kleiner invited the editor of Ha'aretz on a tour of the city, "during which an attempt will be made to broaden his knowledge of the land and of Israel's capital." Luz reported that Shmuel Rosner, head of the paper's news department, said that the headline was the result of an editorial error, and not of "editorial considerations."
