Freudian slip or wishful thinking?

It must be nice being the largest news agency in the world.  For Reuters, it means the power and conceit to be able to dictate to nations in which city their capital is located -- at least for Israel.

Last December, we noted Reuters formal placement of Israel's capital in Tel Aviv.  A little earlier today, in a story on Palestinian rejectionism efforts to win U.N. recognition, Reuters correspondents Ali Sawafta and Tom Perry attempted the same stunt.  Here's the way their story reads currently:

The Palestinian Authority (PA) headed by Abbas is dependent on financial support from international donors including the United States and the European Union.
It also relies on customs duties collected on its behalf by Israel, which triggered a financial crisis for the PA earlier this month when the Israeli government temporarily withheld the funds following a reconciliation deal between the rival Fatah and Hamas groups.

And here's how that second paragraph read before being revised:

It also relies on customs duties collected on its behalf by Israel, which triggered a financial crisis for the PA earlier this month when Tel Aviv temporarily withheld the funds following a reconciliation deal between the rival Fatah and Hamas groups.

Wily, aren't they?
