BBC to launch review of Gaza coverage after anti-Semitism claims

The BBC announced a review of its Gaza war coverage following revelations of antisemitic content by some freelance reporters and internal criticisms in 2024.
This review was triggered by a March 2024 apology over undisclosed payments and a narrator linked to Hamas, alongside reports of social media posts praising violence.
BBC Arabic service and several contributors, including Samer Elzaenen and Ahmed Qannan, faced scrutiny for sharing posts condoning attacks and expressing antisemitic views.
A September 2024 report found the BBC breached editorial guidelines over 1,500 times early in the Israel-Hamas conflict, revealing a pattern of bias against Israel.
The BBC plans to appoint an independent reviewer and strengthen staff confidence to report concerns, signaling efforts to address bias and rebuild trust.
