The UK's chief rabbi has strongly criticised "the airing of vile Jew-hate at Glastonbury" after a live broadcast of Bob Vylan's performance at the festival went out on the BBC, during which the band's singer led the crowd in chants of "death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]".

After punk duo Bob Vylan chanted "death to the IDF" live on air, the BBC has vowed to take action to "ensure proper accountability" for those found to be responsible for the broadcast.

The BBC has issued a formal apology and announced it will no longer be live-streaming “high-risk” music acts after punk rap duo Bob Vylan’s controversial Glastonbury Festival performance on Saturday (June 28).

The BBC had already said it should have cut the stream from Bob Vylan's performance at the music festival on Saturday which included on-stage chants of "death, death to the IDF", a reference to the Israel Defense Forces fighting a war in Gaza.
