CBC blames teleprompter error for ‘Israel started the Hamas war’ statement

Guest host J.P. Tasker made the statement during a recent episode of CBC’s Power & Politics, a weekday show that focuses on national politics.

In responding to a clip from the show shared on X, Power & Politics said the statement was the result of “a teleprompter glitch that cut off part of the prepared script.”

It added that the script read: “‘That’s just the latest protest taking place in Canada, since Israel declared war on Hamas following the October attacks that left 12-hundred dead.’ The error was not intentional.”
