The White House on Friday corrected a transcript of President Barack Obama’s remarks that mistakenly identified Jerusalem as part of Israel.
The president spoke Friday morning at a memorial service for former Israeli President and Prime Minister Shimon Peres, who died Wednesday at the age of 93.
The original transcript, which was blasted out before 8 a.m., named the location of the president’s remarks of Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, Israel.
The corrected version, which was emailed after 4:30 p.m., struck through the reference to Israel, as the U.S. doesn’t recognize Jerusalem as a part of Israel.
