Complaint
A listener complained that a correspondent’s reference to “the war that led to the creation of Israel” was inaccurate.
Outcome
The inaccuracy had already been acknowledged by BBC News, and a posting on the Corrections and Clarifications page of bbc.co.uk, which made clear that the creation of the State of Israel preceded the Arab-Israeli war of 1948-9. In the view of the ECU, this sufficed to resolve the issue of complaint.
