Immigration New Zealand, a site run by the New Zealand government which caters to prospective immigrants, created a special page with a map of the Middle East that included "Palestine," but not Israel, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported on Wednesday.

"Palestine," which appeared where Israel should have been, did not include Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip.

"Following a barrage of complaints on social media, the web page was removed, though screenshots remain," the JTA reported.

The page said it was an information portal for Palestinians interested in immigrating. It also mentioned the "massive repression of Palestinians" and noted the "economic sanctions and a blockade on Hamas-controlled Gaza."
