Google Launches ‘Palestinian Territories’ Domain
Google launched a Palestinian domain with the words “Palestinian Territories” added to its logo.
The new domain, which went online Aug. 13 and becomes Google’s 160th separate domain, will allow Palestinians direct access to Google in Arabic, Ynet reported.
Palestinian users have had to visit other country’s domains to use the search engine in Arabic.

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
