An article by John Hall in The Independent (Israel to resume building controversial settlements in the West Bank after 18-month moratorium, Jan. 25th) includes the following passage, meant to provide context to recently ‘resumed’ Israeli construction in Judea and Samaria:
Of course, Israel left Gaza (and evacuated all settlers) in 2005.
We’ve contacted Indy editors seeking a correction to this false claim.
UPDATE: Shortly after tweeting the journalist, and alerting him to the error, the passage was revised and the false claim removed.
