The AP article in its current form online does not contain the
error. It only appears in Haaretz.

One of the things that I like so much about the AP here in Jrsm is
that senior journalists usually let us check out the article for
mistakes like this before it goes out. Here it's obvious someone
forgot to ask scholars before it went out and now that it's in the
public record, the damage is done. I have a feeling that the
misinformation may have come from some gov't PR folks as no scholar
dealing with the topic would have permitted such a thing.

<<Would be interesting to know what the sources of this
misinforming AP article are and how it made its way into such a
respected newspaper as Haaretz...
