I look forward to this report but I'm not holding my breath.
As a result of examples such as those mentioned, the BBC board of governors appointed an independent panel to examine the corporation’s reporting of the conflict.
Chaired by Sir Quentin Thomas, the president of the British Board of Film Classification, the panel includes Lord Eames, the Archbishop of Armagh and Stewart Purvis, the former ITN chief executive.
The panel’s task is to "assess the impartiality of BBC news and current affairs coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with particular regard to accuracy, fairness, context, balance and bias, actual or perceived".
The full report will be released in the next few weeks.
