Jerusalem residents recently discovered that CNN weather reports had removed their city from the list of cities in Israel.

According to CNN, the question of the status and statehood of the holy city is still unclear, since it is the subject of Palestinian-Israeli negotiations. That's why CNN.com Weather removed the word Israel from its Jerusalem weather page seven months ago.

Noticing this fact, the Israelis, who do not even want to discuss the issue of the city’s ownership, were outraged by the political and geographical experiments of the media corporation. The Congress of American Jews became the spokesman for public indignation . Under his pressure, CNN again listed Jerusalem as an Israeli city on Thursday .

However, CNN has now marked Jerusalem with an asterisk and added a footnote to the name, saying that the city's status is controversial, and Palestinian and Arab leaders consider Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state.

However, as Wired reports, the head of the Congress of American Jews, Phil Baum, continues to actively express his dissatisfaction: he is now dissatisfied with the footnote. At the same time, CNN Interactive spokeswoman Edna Johnson said she was surprised by the delayed reaction to the corporation's actions 7 months ago.

But the president of the Congress of American Palestinians, Nadeem Zaraur, unexpectedly agreed with the opinion of his Jewish opponents. He said that it was strange to see information of a historical and political nature on the weather forecast page - moreover, in an isolated case. For example, the weather in the cities of Taiwan is not accompanied by any political commentary on the pages of CNN, although China still does not recognize Taiwan as a separate state.

By the way, earlier more serious political and geographical redistributions occurred on the CNN forecast site. For example, all Friday, April 28 of this year, there was a weather forecast for Europe, where Africa was depicted instead of Europe (see illustration above).
