The BBC issued an apology for regurgitating false claims from Hamas about the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) executing Palestinians in Gaza.
The network admitted to not seeking enough evidence to justify reporting the Hamas claim and faced criticism for refusing to call Hamas a terrorist organization.
The BBC also apologized for speculating about Israel’s involvement in an explosion at a hospital, which was later proven to be caused by a rocket fired by terrorists. (Trending: Michelle Obama Admits Being ‘Terrified’ Ahead of 2024)
The BBC reported, “In overnight output [on BBC radio news bulletins] we ran a story about Hamas accusing the Israeli army of carrying out summary executions in the Gaza strip.”
“This was a Hamas statement, but although the accusations were attributed and our story contained a response from the Israeli military saying they were unaware of the incident and that Hamas was a terrorist organisation that did not value truth, we had not made sufficient effort to seek corroborating evidence to justify reporting the Hamas claim. We apologise for this mistake,” the outlet stated.
Additionally, the network misquoted a Reuters article, claiming Israeli troops targeted Arabs and medics, when in reality, the IDF had Arabic-speaking soldiers and medics ensuring supplies reached those in need.
