In the set, the group's singer, Bobby Vylan, led chants of "death to the IDF" (referring to the Israel Defence Forces) and also used the slogan "from the river to the sea, Palestine must be, will be, free".
"It is clear that errors were made both in the lead-up to and during Bob Vylan’s appearance. We think it’s important to set out some of the detail around the streaming of this performance."
"Prior to Glastonbury, a decision was taken that compliance risks could be mitigated in real time on the live stream – through the use of language or content warnings - without the need for a delay," it added. "This was clearly not the case.
"During the performance, the livestream was monitored in line with the agreed compliance protocols and a number of issues were escalated. Warnings appeared on the stream on two occasions and the editorial team took the decision not to cut the feed. This was an error."
"The team prioritised stopping the performance from featuring on demand. This meant that no downloads of Bob Vylan’s set were available on iPlayer or Sounds. However, the live feed, which was showing subsequent performances from other acts on the same Glastonbury stage, remained up until it was amended shortly after 8pm while teams worked on a technical solution.
The statement also maps out immediate changes that have been made to the BBC's process of showing music events, which include now not broadcasting or streaming live any music performances that are deemed to be "high risk", "having on site editorial policy support at major music festivals and events to improve compliance processes and the speed of available advice", as well as "provide more detailed, practical guidance on the threshold for withdrawing a live stream".
As well as the BBC's statement on Bob Vylan's performance, BBC Chair Samir Shah has also apologised in a statement.
“The BBC Board met on Tuesday to hear what actions will now be taken. The Executive have agreed to put in place a set of strengthened editorial practices and policies for live music programming. These will be important measures to safeguard future live broadcasts from a failure such as this.
“The Board fully supports the Director-General and the swift actions taken by him and his team to identify these errors and address them.”
Earlier this week, Avon and Somerset Police confirmed that it has launched a criminal investigation into the performances by Bob Vylan and fellow performers Kneecap at this year's Glastonbury.
