Considering who the snubbed person is, the affront was deliberate and the apology faked.

AP has a history from covering up the Holocaust, denial of Jewish history, legal rights to lying about whats happening in Israel which leads to incitement and violence against Jews globally.

They are an enemy of the Jews and shouldnt be allowed into Israel along with CNN/MSNBC/NYT/BBC/France 24 and so on. THEY ALL INTENTIONALLY LIE ABOUT ISRAEL AND JEWS CAUSING DEATH AND DESTRUCTION IN ISRAEL AND THE WEST.

MOST PEOPLE STILL GET THEIR INFORMATION FROM THESE FAKE NEWS SOURCES.

why assist them in furthering their positions?
It would be far, far wiser to play a proper game of chess by sharpening our public relations and media skills.

The AP doesn't report news- it invents it.

"Payloader kills several!"
What really happened: Muslim sociopath used a piece of heavy equipment to kill some Israelis.

or

"Palestinians killed by Israeli police!"
What really happened: Muslim sociopaths attacked and butchered four rabbis at prayer in synagogue and were killed by police trying to escape.

The AP has no place in Israel. Being held up so that they missed the ceremony is miniscule payback for the thousands of misleading headlines and stories they've concocted over the years, which always try to show Israel in the worst possible light.

The AP has no place in Israel.

I hope the chief felt humiliated cause his credentials mean squat
I hope the other fake news outlets like BBC and
CNN were given the same treatment

for Fatboy Sherry, without them he would never have become the (self proclaimed) Middle East expert that he is today.
