As the new U.S. administration took office on Wednesday after the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the official Twitter account of the U.S. Embassy in Israel also changed its name, from "U.S. Ambassador to Israel" to "U.S. Ambassador to Israel, the West Bank and Gaza" – but only for a few hours.
Asked whether this might signal a shift in American foreign policy under Biden, an embassy spokeswoman said: "This is not a policy change or indication of future policy change."
The Twitter page's name was changed back shortly after. The spokeswoman stressed,
"It was an inadvertent edit, and not reflective of a policy change."
