Error In New Stamps Of Israel - Paris Olympic Games

*** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***
Two weeks ago, on May 7, 2024, Israel issued a new set of three stamps to publicize the Paris Olympic Games. While scanning them for the Olympic thread, I noticed that in all three stamps the "Israel" in Arabic replaced by "Paris" in Arabic. Hence, the name of the state doesn't appears on the stamps in Arabic, one of the official languages of Israel:

Interesting!

Have you found any with the correct wording?

If all the issue is the same it is the style of the stamp. I have just checked the Israel Philatelic Federation website and the stamp pictured us exactly the same as your picture.

Could this be a new post office policy?

Hello Triangle,

I think all Olympic Games stamps were issued with this error and I think no one yet reported it. I noticed it just yesterday evening while scanning the set.

I checked other stamps issued the same date and found one more stamp with "Paris" instead "Israel". It is a stamp about Zaka designed by David Ben Hador, the same designer of the Olympic stamps:

Other stamps issued the same day or several days before, designed by different designer, Ronen Goldberg, have the correct name "Israel" in Arabic:

Seems to me that Ben Hador, which probably can't read Arabic, confused between the two Arabic words "Paris" and "Israel". I sure it is not a policy of the Israeli post to write a name of European city on the stamps of Israel instead the state name or to omit the Arabic name of Israel.

I reported the error and will update here in case I get a response.

Couldn't it also mean Persia in Arabic "Faris" ironically?
Are you all going to buy as many of these errors as you can before letting them know about it?

Well, I think no one yet notice this error and all stamps are the same. look at the Israel Philatelic Federation website and Israel Post website, they are all with the same error. I think designers should learn to read the letters of the languages they use.

If all issued stamps are the same,its a design error rather than a printing error. If its a printing error, it may affect only a small number of stamps, then there should be stamps with the correct wording printed and on sale.
However if the stamp is withdrawn and a stamp with different wording is issued, which has happened occasionally in the past, then it becomes a real more important error or possibly a variety.

However if no changes to the stamp are made then its the normal issue.
