The Guardian has apologised to the Jewish community and outgoing BBC Chairman Richard Sharp for a cartoon it published that has been described as “anti-Semitic.”

The drawing, by cartoonist Martin Rowson, was published on Saturday after Sharp resigned following a review that found he had broken the rules by failing to disclose his role in securing an £800,000 loan guarantee for former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
