We noted that, in fact, the US government has not characterized the settlements as “illegal” – opting instead for the non-legal designation of “illegitimate.” We tweeted the Telegraph journalist who wrote the article, and emailed editors, calling out the error. Today, they corrected the passage, which now reads:
 

We commend Telegraph editors for the correction.
