Thursday evening, during a special edition on the situation in Israel, remarks made behind the scenes were accidentally broadcast live.
It’s 9:53 p.m. Thursday evening live on BFMTV when Julie Hammett et Maxime Switek took a break during their special edition to apologize on behalf of the channel. “We would like to return to what happened earlier on the air just following the President of the Republic’s speechdeclared the latter. Due to a technical problem, comments made off-air were heard on-air. BFMTV deeply regrets what happened and understands the legitimate emotion that these comments are causing this evening. »
The incident in question occurred at 8:13 p.m. while journalist Ronald Guintrange, on duplex from Tel Aviv, was interviewing the husband and brother of Céline Ben David-Nagar, a French woman who went missing at the start of the conflict between Hamas and Israel. “We don’t hear “trad””, we heard in the background. A lively conversation, probably coming from the BFMTV control room, was accidentally broadcast on the air for two minutes. “She is an English-French interpreter, she is not a Jewish interpreter”this voice-over clearly exclaimed amid other inaudible comments. “Damn, but you are buffoons! »
