Overview

  • On June 19, Good Morning Britain displayed a map error in its Israel conflict coverage that placed the Golan Heights within Israeli borders.
  • The graphic appeared live as Ranvir Singh introduced correspondent Richard Gaisford reporting from Tel Aviv.
  • Ofcom has now logged 318 complaints from viewers who flagged the inaccurate depiction.
  • Social media users criticised the error by citing UN resolution 497, which deems Israel’s annexation of the Golan Heights “null and void.”
  • Only Israel and the United States recognise the territory’s annexation, with most other countries rejecting it under international law.
