The Los Angeles Times is running a full webpage advertisement promoting tourism to Israel. The ad is backed by the Israeli Ministry of Tourism. The ad also includes a map of Israel that erases Palestine.
LA Times page promoting tourism to Israel
"Israel:

You'll Find It Here

Israel is a country shaped by ancient traditions and diverse cultures, where every region offers a distinctly different atmosphere. You can spend the morning walking ancient pilgrimage sites, the afternoon floating in serene waters or relaxing on the coast, and the evening eating your way through vibrant market stalls before heading out for a night that ends when the sun rises.



From sacred sites to desert adventures, these guides offer different ways to explore the country. There’s no single right way to experience it, so follow what interests you, mix and match along the way, and leave some room to wander."

Also includes a disclaimer from LATimes:
"This Paid Program is either (i) produced by the advertising department of the Los Angeles Times on behalf of the Advertiser or (ii) supplied by the Advertiser. The newsrooms or editorial departments of the Los Angeles Times are not involved. For those with questions, please email paidpost@latimes.com."
LATimes ad for Israel continued. Includes map of Israel that erases Palestine.

This has always been so puzzling to me. LA28 is supposed to release the names of all the contractors paid more than $1 million. For years they did, then stopped. Now it seems like they're hiding that information from the public, and top officials in the mayor's office are letting them???
In their routine review of the 2025 annual report, two top advisors to the city's elected leaders described the reporting on contracts as "limited." Matt Szabo, the city administrative officer, said that he and Sharon Tso, the chief legislative analyst, have asked LA28 to provide a list of the $1 million-plus contractors in writing, "as required
by the Games Agreement." Tso and Szabo wrote in their review last week that LA28 had not listed the detailed information, contending "that publishing specific contractors and contracting details within the annual report is financially detrimental and a risk to its future competitive
contracts partnership and sponsorship activities." Instead, LA28 had shared the detailed contract information only with the top
advisors and the mayor's office, Szabo said.
