מדיניות תיקונים

1. What we correct

We correct material factual errors in news articles, knowledge pages, captions, charts, and headlines. Examples include wrong dates, names, offices, vote counts, casualty figures, locations, quotes, source characterizations, or statements that are materially contradicted by a reliable source.

We may also update articles when later reporting, official records, court filings, or public documents materially change the factual picture. Minor spelling, grammar, formatting, broken-link, and typo fixes may be made without a formal correction note when the meaning is unchanged.

2. How to request a correction

Email admin@thestateofisrael.com with the subject line Correction request. Please include:

1. the article or page URL;
2. the exact statement you believe is wrong;
3. the corrected wording or factual point you propose;
4. links or citations to reliable supporting sources; and
5. your name, contact email, and any relationship to the subject.

If the issue is urgent or could affect someone’s safety, put Urgent correction in the subject line.

3. Review process

We aim to acknowledge substantive correction requests within seven (7) days. Review is handled by a human editor. We compare the challenged passage against the cited sources, the article’s existing sources, and other reliable public records where needed.

If a correction is warranted, we will update the affected page and, where the error was material, add a dated correction note near the article or page. The note will summarize what changed without reprinting unnecessary private information.

4. Opinion, framing, and right of reply

We do not remove or rewrite editorial opinion, pro-Israel framing, religious framing, analysis, headlines, or fair comment merely because a person disagrees with the viewpoint. We do correct factual premises that are materially wrong.

A person or organization that is a subject of coverage may submit a concise response for editorial consideration. We may publish, excerpt, decline, or summarize a response at our editorial discretion.

5. Sources

Articles and knowledge records should include visible source links where practical. Where a record has no specific source, the Site’s source component falls back to canonical references. A source link is not an endorsement of that publisher’s full editorial position; it identifies the record we relied on for the cited fact.

Copyright concerns and general questions should be sent separately to admin@thestateofisrael.com.
