I’ve noticed that your post has an Arabic (Modern Standard) language label. I just wanted to let you know that I removed it from your post as it isn’t written in Arabic, and this may confuse people who are searching for posts in this particular language. I also enlarged the image so it is more visible and fits better with the post.

Hello @paliknight ,
Sharing photos on Maps is unrelated to what countries display on Maps. Maps is not a photo sharing application, you cannot simply add photos to a country, city, state, province, etc. Instead, Maps allows sharing of photos of specific establishments on Maps in order that people can better understand if they’d like to be a customer of that establishment. So you can add your photos of a restaurant’s food or the interior of a shop; but you cannot add pictures of landscapes and scenery.

Okay, but Generally, Google maps is an application that helps people to reach palaces or countries , and make them aware of them , by people’s opinion .
So, The Next generations will be considering Palestine , Un-existed on the map and there is no place called Palestine, but Israel , And thats not right , …Palestine Is the Base and Will Always be, even if it was removed from google maps
, But Can You Just tell me why was it Been removed and replaced by Israel???
Hello @muhammedatiea ,
Again, no changes have been made to the map. The rumors from the internet saying it was removed are incorrect.
If someone wants to find where Palestine is located, the search function does take you to the correct location.

I agree with you, what Google did is unethical and racist against palestinians that are recognized by the UN and most of the world
We should call for a massive boycott of Google maps if they don’t correct this huge error.
