The State Department Will Do Anything to Not Admit Jerusalem is in Israel

They have now resorted to not even listing cities that the Secretary of State will visit and simply not verbally mentioning the city at all.  How lame.  From yesterday's State Department briefing (h/t Commentary):

QUESTION: For every single country she's going to, it lists the cities that she's visiting, except for Israel. So this is a semi-trick question: Is she going to be visiting the capital of Israel?

MR. VENTRELL: The Secretary will be in Israel and she will meet with Israeli officials.

QUESTION: Where?

MR. VENTRELL: At this point, I don't know where those meetings are going to be, but obviously as we get closer, the team will have more information.

QUESTION: You don't know if they'll be in Jerusalem or if they will be in Tel Aviv?

MR. VENTRELL: We can presume that she will visit multiple sites in Israel on this trip.
