Many marches and protests are organised in cities around the UK and we’re unable to cover all of those that take place. Stories, and the amount of time we spend on them, are chosen due to a number of factors including the day’s news agenda.

We believe there were significant stories on Gaza that we needed to cover that day: Israel had just confirmed it had launched a major new offensive against Hamas in Gaza, and fighting had already escalated to a significant degree with more than a hundred killed in the previous 24-hour period. Hamas confirmed that a new round of negotiations for a ceasefire had begun, and the UN had condemned the plans for the new offensive.

That morning, we reported that rescue workers had said at least ten people had been killed by Israeli strikes, and throughout the day we explored how Israel’s presence at Eurovision was continuing to draw protests. We also reported on a speech by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, in which he called for Israel to lift its blockade on humanitarian aid.

We understand many people have strong views about the Israel-Palestinian conflict and how we have approached our comprehensive reporting of it. We have given careful consideration to all aspects of our coverage to ensure that we have been providing our audiences with accurate and duly impartial information, in line with the BBC editorial guidelines.
