Where did “Settlements” go?

Spencer Ackerman has a nice catch (h/t to a Ben Smith tweet):

When the White House press shop sent out its statement criticizing Israel this afternoon — I received mine at 2:14 p.m. — the headline above the statement read: “Statement by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs on the Approval of Settlement Expansion in Jerusalem.” But the version that appears online has the headline “Statement by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs on Jerusalem.”

UPDATE: A source tells me that  "settlements" was a press shop error, corrrected by National SWecurity Council folks better aware of White House policy.
