Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks has told BBC listeners that the blame for the Gaza conflict should be placed on Iran.
The chief rabbi had given the Thought For The Day, the daily religious item on the Today programme on Radio 4, when he was asked what he thought of the current Israel- Gaza conflict. Lord Sacks said: "I think it's got to do with Iran."
However, the chief rabbi did not seem to know that he was live on air.
When presenter Evan Davis alerted the chief rabbi, Lord Sacks quickly said: "A continued prayer for peace is needed, not only in Gaza, but the whole region.
