British network chooses not to air portion of interview in which Israeli President criticized its biased coverage of Israel.
President Isaac Herzog was interviewed on Tuesday by the BBC.
Throughout the war, the BBC has been criticized in Israel and the world for its biased coverage of the goings on in Israel, among other things when it accused Israel of an explosion in a hospital in Gaza, which turned out to have been caused by an Islamic Jihad rocket.
The network chose to broadcast only a small part of the interview with the President, and the segment in which Herzog criticized the channel's coverage of the war was omitted.
In the interview, he was asked about humanitarian aid to Gaza and said, "We are supplying humanitarian aid. We are doing our best to move all the civilians down south to be fully protected, and then the army goes in, fights and cleans up the place from Hamas."
"Perhaps there will be a real future for the Palestinian people, without this atrocious terror regime in Gaza. But, first and foremost, we have to take care of our citizens."
On the issue of the hostages, President Herzog said, "We are in contact with Qatar all the time. They play an important role in the effort to return the hostages and I hope that there will be results. So far we have not seen any real proposals."
