This is the best summary I could come up with:
Apple has been criticised after the Palestinian flag emoji was automatically suggested to iPhone users who type "Jerusalem."
TV presenter Rachel Riley, who is Jewish, noted on social media that national flags were not suggested for other capitals.
East Jerusalem, along with the West Bank and Gaza Strip, were captured by Israel from Jordan and Egypt in a war in 1967, and have since been viewed internationally as occupied Palestinian territory.
This is not the first time a big tech company has found itself embroiled in the bitter dispute between Israel and the Palestinians.
Last year rival tech giant Meta had to apologise after a bug resulted in it adding "terrorist" to the biographies of some Instagram users describing themselves as Palestinian.
Meta said it fixed a problem "that briefly caused inappropriate Arabic translations" in some of its products.
