Well, I don’t mean to be grouchy or anything, but why does the title of this piece refer to Israel’s government as “Tel Aviv”?

Israel’s government is in Jerusalem (which is also Israel’s largest and most populous city.)

When Israeli news sources describe what Israel’s government is doing, the city name used is “Jerusalem.”

Calling Israel’s government by the name “Tel Aviv” is like referring to the USA’s government as “Boston.”

/Grouchy mood off.

The story itself about Russia passing information about Israel to Syria is a huge concern.

Thanks for posting this article.

You are right, of course. The MSM here and elsewhere are determined to delegitimize Israel’s claim to Jerusalem.

Also, the headline was probably written by Gulf News, from whence the piece appears to have originated.

re: #3 researchok

Thanks - I agree that this is probably where the title originated.
