The British broadcaster was found to have committed a "major breach" of industry standards by not revealing that the presenter of a documentary about Gaza was the child of a Hamas administrator, as determined by British broadcasting authority Ofcom.
An probe by the media regulator into the documentary titled Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone has found that the programme was "significantly deceptive".
The head of the BBC had previously apologised, stating there had been "a major oversight in relation to truthfulness".
The authority has ordered the corporation to broadcast a evening statement about its decisions.
"As this represents a major infringement of our code, we are ordering the corporation to air a announcement of our findings against it on BBC Two at 21:00, with a schedule to be finalised," the regulator stated.
'Potential to Undermine Credibility'
The regulator's statement stated: "Our investigation found that the film's failure to disclose that the presenter's parent held a role in the Hamas-run administration was significantly deceptive.
"It meant that the audience did not have vital facts which may have been highly relevant to their judgment of the narrator and the information he presented.
"Confidence is at the center of the connection between a broadcaster and its viewers, especially for a state-funded media outlet such as the BBC.
"This failing had the possibility to undermine the very considerable degrees of credibility that viewers would have put in a documentary produced by the BBC about the Israel-Gaza war."
The film was pulled from the online platform in last February after the presenter's personal associations were revealed, and in July an broadcaster's internal assessment determined it breached the broadcaster's editorial guidelines on truthfulness.
A corporation official commented: "The authority's determination is in line with the findings of the internal assessment, that there was a major oversight in the programme in relation to the corporation's content standards on truthfulness, which aligns with clause 2.2 of Ofcom's Broadcasting Code.
"We have apologised for this and we accept the authority's determination in complete. We will comply with the directive as soon as the schedule and language are confirmed."
