Why the British Museum removed the term ‘Palestine’ from select exhibits | Art-and-culture News

Published by Parlour News

3 min readFeb 16, 2026 05:30 PM IST The British Museum has reportedly removed the term “Palestine” from some of its Middle East gallery panels after concerns that the term was “historically inaccurate” in the context of certain exhibits. A news report in The Jerusalem Post on February 15 quotes the British Museum as stating, “For the Middle East galleries for maps showing ancient cultural regions, the term ‘Canaan’ is relevant for the southern Levant in the later second millennium (BCE),” adding that “some of the graphic panels date from the earlier period of the understanding of the term are being reviewed as part of plans for refurbishing these spaces.” The move comes after UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) wrote to the Director of the British Museum, Nicholas Cullinan, raising concerns “regarding the anachronistic use of the term Palestine”. A note on the UKLFI website states how, by writing to Cullinan it has “highlighted the repeated use of the term ‘Palestine’ to describe the region now comprising Israel and surrounding areas during historical periods when …

World Cup squads are usually picked on form and footballing ability alone. Managers often prefer players who can change games in moments, trusting talent to solve problems on the pitch. England head coach Thomas Tuchel, however, believes what happens off the pitch could be just as important in the 2026 World Cup, saying that players who possess social skills and can communicate effectively with others may have an edge in making the squad compared to those who only have the best skills on the pitch. “When I speak to players who have been in World Cups, it has always made the difference when the connection was right, when the communication was right”. “When the players had the feeling that the right group is in camp, that they knew their role, why they are in camp, what is expected of them, and they had the feeling that the tournament could even go on for another four weeks, and they would be happy to be together, then they were successful.” “It will be very important that we …

Indian hockey is gearing up for a big challenge in 2026, with the World Cup and Asian Games separated by less than three weeks. For men’s team head coach Craig Fulton, it presents a puzzle to solve because he can’t afford to ignore one for the other.

We had the Lion’s Head trek. It’s quite a steep incline. It’s on the same height as Table Mountain. So now we’ve done both of …
