Arcom was alerted following the diffusion on BFM TV, on October 7, 2023 in a special edition dedicated to the Middle East conflict, of a duplex interview with Julien Bahloul from Israeli territory.
It found that, although Julien Bahloul had initially been presented as a " specialist in Israeli society ", his activities as a former reservist and spokesman for the Israeli army had subsequently been expressly mentioned on air, so that there had been no breach of the requirement for honest and rigorous reporting.
Consequently, the Authority did not take any action against the service editor.
