Page "The World Factbook" Paragraph 67

In June 2009, the US National Public Radio ( NPR ), relying on information obtained from the CIA World Factbook, put the number of Israeli Jews living in settlements in the West Bank and Israeli-annexed East Jerusalem at 250, 000.

However, a better estimate, based on State Department and Israeli sources put the figure at about 500, 000.

NPR then issued a correction.

Chuck Holmes, foreign editor for NPR Digitial, said, “ I ’ m surprised and displeased, and it makes me wonder what other information is out-of-date or incorrect in the CIA World Factbook .”
