Following the Glastonbury live stream, which was available to watch on iPlayer for more than four hours after the comments were made, the BBC was criticised by the UK's chief rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis, while broadcast regulator Ofcom said the BBC had "questions to answer".

The UK's chief rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis strongly criticised "the airing of vile Jew-hate at Glastonbury" earlier this week.

The BBC understands the UK's Chief Rabbi, Sir Ephraim Mirvis, is one of the passengers returning to the UK after being evacuated from Israel by the RAF.

Those who declined to attend included Israel's own president and the chief rabbi of the UK, Sir Ephraim Mirvis.

Chief Rabbi Mirvis declined to participate "having been made aware of the attendance of a number of far-right populist politicians", his office said in a statement issued last week.
