LA Times ad shows West Bank and Gaza as part of Israel

The Los Angeles Times is running a paid advertisement backed by the Israeli Ministry of Tourism promoting travel to Israel. Critics say the ad's map depicts the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip as part of Israeli territory, drawing condemnation from pro-Palestinian voices who call it misleading erasure of Palestinian land and a violation of international consensus on the occupied territories.
Why now: Critics are drawing attention to a tourism ad's map because it erases the recognised boundaries of the occupied Palestinian territories.
