Arcom was alerted to the 64' Le monde en français program shown on November 15, 2023 on TV5 Monde.

It observed that the Israeli army spokesman interviewed during the program had been given the opportunity to fully express his point of view and to react in a detailed manner to the journalist's remarks.

Arcom points out that the choice of questions put by journalists to their guests is a matter of editorial freedom, and that the ethical obligations specific to journalists are not enforceable by Arcom against service editors.

Consequently, the Authority has not taken any action against the service editor.
