Apple’s New iOS 7 System Leaves Jerusalem Without A Country — Again
JERUSALEM — Apple’s new iOS 7 operating system, like its predecessor, lists Jerusalem without a country.
Jerusalem is one of only three cities to be listed in the World Clock without a country, The Blaze reported this week. The others are Vatican City and Taipei.
The Blaze showed a screenshot of the World Clock in a post on Sept. 22.
On Tuesday, Jerusalem did not appear on the list. However, when typed into the search engine it shows up, still without listing Israel as its country.
The iOS6 operating system’s World Clock also listed Jerusalem with no country.
Palestinians claim Jerusalem, the Israeli capital, as the capital of their future state.
The country listed with Hebron is “Palestinian territories,” as is Gaza.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
