Kiryat Gat Mayor Aviram Dahari on Wednesday ordered the removal of dozens of signs posted across the city as part of a PR campaign, depicting a map of Israel excluding Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the Golan Heights.
The signs were first noticed by right-wing watchdog Im Tirtzu, which launched an email petition encouraging its more than 230,000 Facebook followers to demand that the city fix the signs. Within hours, Dahari apologized, calling the incident, calling it "an oversight."

"The Land of Israel, the land of our forefathers that our ancestors dreamed of, includes all the parts that you mentioned in your letter. With God's help we will fix the signs accordingly," the mayor said in a letter to the NGO.
