Officials at Walt Disney Co. are trying to quell a growing row in the Arab world over whether Jerusalem will be depicted as Israel’s capital at a millennial exhibit in Florida. “Every step is being taken to ensure that none of the exhibits will offend another culture,” a Disney spokeswoman in Paris said Wednesday. The comment came as the United Arab Emirates called for an Arab boycott of all Disney products if the Israeli exhibit at the Epcot New Millennium Village portrays Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state. Meanwhile, Israeli officials lashed out at the UAE, saying it was injecting politics into entertainment.
