An image depicting Richard Sharp has been criticised by Jewish groups and removed from the paper's website.
The Guardian has apologised after a cartoon depicting BBC chairman Richard Sharp was criticised as antisemitic.It depicted Mr Sharp, who is Jewish, with exaggerated features and carrying a puppet of Rishi Sunak.Dave Rich, head of policy at the Community Security Trust charity, added that it was similar to other images which have depicted Jews "with outsized, grotesque features, often in conjunction with money and power".
In a statement, a spokesperson for the Guardian said: "We understand the concerns that have been raised. Stephen Pollard, editor-at-large of the Jewish Chronicle, criticised the Guardian for publishing it, saying he found it "genuinely shocking that not a single person looked at this and said 'no, we can't run this'. To me that's the real issue."
Martin Rowson, the artist who drew it, has also apologised, saying he was in a rush to create the artwork by a deadline and did not mean to offend or include any prejudicial undertones.
