The BBC has admitted it breached its own guidelines on accuracy in presenting a pro-Israeli commentator as an independent analyst during Israel’s assault on Gaza in November 2012.

Jonathan Sacerdoti appeared on BBC News 24 four times over two days at the beginning of the eight day attack to give his assessment of the events leading up to Israel’s actions.

On each occasion, he was introduced as ‘Jonathan Sacerdoti of the Institute for Middle Eastern Democracy’, and the name of this supposedly neutral think tank appeared on-screen during his appearances.
