BBC Middle East editor at centre of 'bias' row said Mossad made him 'proud'
The BBC's online Middle East editor said in 2020 that it was "wonderful" to be in a "circle of trust" with current and former Mossad agents while writing a book, and that the agency's "fantastic operations" make him "tremendously proud".
The comments made by Raffi Berg have surfaced following the revelation last week that he is suing prominent journalist Owen Jones over an article alleging Berg is biased towards Israel.
Berg's book Red Sea Spies was published in 2020 and details the 1980s secret Mossad operation to transport thousands of Ethiopian Jews to Israel.
Its blurb says it was "written in collaboration with operatives involved in the mission, endorsed as the definitive account and including an afterword from the commander who went on to become the head of the Mossad".
In an October 2020 interview with Vilna Shul, which describes itself as "Boston's Center for Jewish Culture", Berg was asked what he learnt most from writing the book.
