When it comes to Israel, the BBC cannot stop creating controversy.

As was honest after the controversy about the broadcast of a violent anti-IDF vocals at the Glastonbury Music Festival last month, the British public service broadcaster has a long history of prejudice and misinformation in its reporting on the Jewish state.

This latest controversy (with the kind permission of the CEO of BBC from News, Deborah Turess) is actually a branch of a separate controversy that the media organization rattles at the beginning of this year.

In February 2025, the BBC removed the documentary Gaza: How to survive a war war war Unveiled from his streaming platform according to the investigative reporter David Collier that the youthful narrator of the film was the son of a Hamas Minister and that his mother had been paid for by the production company responsible for filming.

It was also found that the documentary was involved in several cases of misjudgment and renovated the language of the respondent by translating the Arabic word for “Jews” as “Israelis” or “Israeli forces” and presenting the word “jihad” as “struggle” or “resistance”.

After the embarrassment of having to make the documentary, the BBC apologized for the “serious mistakes” that contained it.

In mid -July, the BBC published a report in which the documentary had violated the editorial standards of Broadcasting Corporation and that it should never be signed for the film.

In response to the BBC report, Simon Plosker, editorial director of Ehrlichkeitreporting, published an explanation that was partially read:

Sorry not enough. It is time for the BBC to report impartial and to tackle these parts of your news room, which are clearly unable to.

And now it seems that one of the parts of the newsroom, which is “clearly unable”, is impartial to report impartial, the CEO of News itself, Deborah Turess.

A 30-second clip was recently leaked online and shared on social media, in which gymnastics was given on a zoom call with BBC employees, in which it is stated:

I think it is really important that we are clear that Abdullah's father was a deputy agricultural minister, and, as you know, member of the government led by Hamas, which differs as part of Hamas' military wing. And I think it is often simplified that he was in Hamas. And I think it is – it is an important detail that we need to constantly remind people of the difference and this connection.

Therefore, a BBC manager tries to downplay the seriousness of the serious violation of the editorial guidelines that the British broadcaster admits when the controversial documentary is published, but also creates a wrong department within the Hamas, which is not recognized by the British government.

The entirety of Hamas has been banned from the British government as a terrorist organization since 2021. At the time of this name, in a statement by the Ministry of the Interior, it explained that every distinction between a “military” and “political” wing is “artificial, whereby Hamas is involved in the commitment, participation, preparation and promotion of terrorist actions”.

Perhaps this attempt to wash Hamas should not be so surprising, since the BBC itself has politics to refuse to describe the organization and its members as “terrorists”.

However, every British taxpayer should be worried that one of the managers responsible for the news of the British public on the British public broadcaster tried to revise reality in order to remove the BBC of misconduct.

What does that say about the impartiality of the BBC? How can the average viewer trust every article that emerges from a newsroom under the supervision of Deborah Turess?
