BBC’s Israel-Hamas Coverage Breached Own Editorial Guidelines Over 1,500 Times According to New Report


A new report has found the BBC breached its own editorial guidelines over 1,500 times while reporting on the Israel-Hamas conflict.

A new report compiled by a team of lawyers and data scientists has concluded that the BBC ‘s coverage of the Israel-Hamas war shows “widespread anti-Israel bias” and has breached its own editorial guidelines multiple times. The report analyzed the BBC’s English and Arabic-language coverage from the first four months of the conflict, which began on Oct. 7 when Hamas terrorists stormed across the border into Israel, murdering thousands of people and taking hundreds more hostage. The report comes in the wake of increasing disquiet about the corporation’s coverage of the Middle East conflict, in particular its refusal to call Hamas a terrorist group.
