US EditionBBC removes Gaza documentary from iPlayer after narrator revealed to be son of Hamas official
- The BBC has removed the documentary 'Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone' from iPlayer for further review after it featured Abdullah Al-Yazouri, the son of Ayman Alyazouri, Hamas’s deputy minister of agriculture, prompting criticism from various individuals including former BBC One controller Danny Cohen.
- In a statement, the BBC acknowledged that while it believes the film features important stories, it faces ongoing questions, necessitating this review.
- The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians criticized the concerns raised over the documentary, arguing that Abdullah's father's role does not invalidate his experience or perspective.
- Tensions escalated as the documentary sparked complaints from the Israeli embassy and UK groups, leading to its indefinite removal, which highlighted the suffering of Palestinians, particularly children, during the ongoing conflict.
