The Palestinian ambassador to the UK has called on the government to aid in getting the British Museum to reinstate the word “Palestinian” in its wall texts.

Husam Zomlot, the ambassador, raised his complaint to the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, a ministry of foreign affairs, according to the Guardian. In that Guardian report, Zomlot called the removal of “Palestinian” from the labels a form of “erasure.”

In February, the Telegraph reported that the group UK Lawyers for Israel had lobbied the museum to strip the word from its didactics, claiming that using the word “Palestinian” “erases historical changes and creates a false impression of continuity.” The word had appeared on maps of the Middle East at the museum.
