Internet giant, Google, no longer applies to the main page of the Palestinian edit the name “Palestinian Territories”, but “Palestine”.

The Palestinian Authority is delighted. “This is a step in the right direction,” said BBC adviser to President Mahmoud Abbas, adding that the world is becoming more and more virtual, so recognition of Palestine on the Internet is introducing her to normal, geographical map.

Dissatisfaction with the involvement of the Internet in politics gignata express Israelis.

official Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said the portal, “The Times of Israel” that Google is not a diplomatic institution, so it can call itself what it wants and how he wants and “it has no political significance.” However, he added, the question arises whether such a sensitive political issue large private company should take a stand.

In addition, the company is American, and the U.S. is no longer the only major major ally of Israel in the battle of the status of Palestine.

In November, during voting in the General Assembly of the United Nations was one of the eight countries that were against granting Palestine the status of “non-member observer state” (previously had the status of “being” rather than “state”). However, outside the United States supported Israel only Canada, the Czech Republic, Panama and several small Pacific Island States.

Even then the success of the UN Palestine is not an important feature of statehood – the established limits, the addition of complete territorial disputes with Israel, mostly for Jerusalem, is unlikely.

Google spokesman explained today that the change of name to “Palestine” came after “consultation with many sources.” – We follow the indications of international institutions: United Nations, ICAAN [involved in naming on the Internet], ISO [International Organization for Standardization] – Nathan Tyler said, as quoted by the BBC.
