UKMW prompts Telegraph correction to erroneous headline on Israel embassy row

Yesterday, we posted and tweeted about the following egregious error in a report at The Telegraph on the scandal surrounding comments by a low-level Israeli employee, Shai Masot, uncovered by an Al Jazeera investigation on “the lobby”.

The Telegraph’s report on the comments of the employee was accompanied by a headline which claimed that the embassy official was Ambassador Mark Regev.

This afternoon, we heard back from Telegraph editors, who informed us that they corrected the headline.

Here it is:

They also added the following addendum:
