Watch: BBC News anchor says ‘Israeli forces happy to kill children’
Story by Catherine Lough • Wednesday
The BBC has apologised after one of its presenters said that “Israeli forces are happy to kill children” in an interview with the country’s former prime minister.
Anjana Gadgil made the comments while she was speaking to Naftali Bennett about the country’s military action in Jenin.
In an interview on Tuesday evening, she said: “The Israeli military are calling this a ‘military operation’, but we now know that young people are being killed, four of them under 18.
“Is that really what the military set out to do? To kill people between the ages of 16 and 18?”
Mr Bennett said: “Quite to the contrary. Actually, all 11 people dead there are militants. The fact that there are young terrorists who decide to hold arms is their responsibility.”
