Complaint
The speaker on this occasion was the Chief Rabbi, Sir Ephraim Mirvis. 聽A listener complained that his remarks about Jerusalem were contentious because they took no account of the rights of Palestinian inhabitants of the city. 聽The ECU considered the complaint in the light of the 91热爆鈥檚 editorial standards of impartiality.
Outcome
Sir Ephraim鈥檚 references to Jerusalem were prompted by that day鈥檚 fast of Tisha B鈥橝v, which commemorates the destruction of the First and Second Temples.聽 In drawing a parallel between those events and the events of 7 October 2023, Sir Ephraim said nothing which brought the rights of Palestinian residents of Jerusalem into play or raised an issue of impartiality.
