Is this really the ninth most important Middle East story at the moment?

The BBC report as the ninth most important Middle East news story at the moment that:
'An Israeli couple have been given suspended jail sentences in Poland for the theft of artefacts from the Nazi death camp Auschwitz, officials say.
The nine items, including spoons and a pair of scissors, were found in their luggage during a routine check as they prepared to board a flight to Israel.

The couple admitted taking the items during a tour of the former concentration camp, now a museum.
They are expected to pay a contribution towards the preservation of the site.'
Is that really a headline news story? Are there not more important things happening in the Middle East than this? Or are the BBC just desperate to have a bad Israelis story up on their site every day?
