Monopoly is being drawn into the dispute over Jerusalem.
Hasbro has issued an apology after an employee, responding to complaints from pro-Palestinian groups, eliminated the word "Israel" after the city in an online contest to select names for a new Monopoly board game.
The company has also pulled all country names from other cities on the site when even more people complained because Jerusalem was listed as the only city without a country.
Hasbro is asking people to vote at the Monopoly Web site on which cities will be included in Monopoly Here and Now: The World Edition. Every city on the site listed a country, including Paris, France; Cairo, Egypt and Jerusalem, Israel.
