The public service broadcaster was found to have committed a "major breach" of industry standards by omitting to mention that the voice of a documentary about the Gaza situation was the child of a Hamas administrator, as ruled by UK media regulator Ofcom.
An probe by the broadcasting watchdog into the documentary titled Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone has determined that the documentary was "significantly deceptive".
The chief executive of the broadcaster had earlier expressed regret, stating there had been "a major oversight in relation to accuracy".
The regulator has ordered the broadcaster to transmit a prime-time statement about its decisions.
"Given this constitutes a significant violation of our code, we are ordering the BBC to air a statement of our findings against it on BBC2 at nine o'clock in the evening, with a date to be confirmed," the statement read.
'Possibility to Damage Confidence'
The authority's report stated: "Our probe found that the documentary's failure to disclose that the presenter's male guardian occupied a position in the Hamas-administered authority was significantly deceptive.
"It meant that the audience did not have critical information which may have been very significant to their assessment of the narrator and the content he shared.
"Trust is at the center of the relationship between a media organization and its public, especially for a public service broadcaster such as the BBC.
"This failing had the possibility to erode the very considerable levels of credibility that viewers would have invested in a BBC factual programme about the conflict in Gaza."
The film was pulled from the BBC's streaming service in February after the presenter's personal associations emerged, and in the month of July an corporation's own inquiry found it breached the organization's editorial guidelines on factual correctness.
A representative for the broadcaster said: "The regulator's decision is in line with the results of the corporation's inquiry, that there was a significant failing in the programme in relation to the corporation's content standards on accuracy, which aligns with regulation 2.2 of the regulator's media standards.
"We issued an apology for this and we comply with the regulator's ruling in complete. We will follow the directive as soon as the schedule and wording are finalised."
