An Israeli health official says a planned BBC interview was abandoned after he questioned the network about the accuracy of its coverage of health-related issues connected to the war in Gaza. Prof. Mitch Schwaber, who heads Israel’s National Center for Infection Control at the Ministry of Health, discussed the episode in an interview with Beni Teitelbaum on Kan Moreshet Radio. Schwaber said a senior BBC correspondent contacted him while preparing a special report on the health effects of the war and initially sought an off-the-record or background conversation.
