After the Boston Globe and Associated Press published corrections noting that there are no "Jewish-only roads" in Israel or the West Bank, the Washington Post cleared the record with its own detailed correction:
Error (Washington Post, AP, 12/30/09): Israel's Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the military to allow Palestinians to travel on the part of a major highway that runs through the West Bank, handing Palestinians their biggest victory yet against Israel's practice of reserving some roads for Jews.

The country closes some roads to virtually all Palestinians, but they are open to all Israeli citizens and to other nationals, regardless of religious background.via camera.org
