BBC Apologizes for Describing Tel Aviv as Israel's Capital
(Jewish News, U.K.) - The BBC this week insisted that "no offense was intended" after Tel Aviv was described as Israel's capital during a commentary on the UEFA European Under-21 Soccer Championship. The error came during Radio 5 Live's coverage of England's defeat to Norway last Saturday night. A spokesperson for the corporation said: "This was a live broadcast and sometimes errors are unfortunately made. We understand this is a sensitive issue and no offense was intended."
