Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sharren Haskel:
I told GB News today:
I called on the Director-General of the BBC, Tim Davie, to resign after the Glastonbury outrage, and I do so again today.
The hour-long Gaza propaganda film is narrated by 14-year-old Abdullah Al-Yazouri, son of Ayman Alyazouri, a senior Hamas official and deputy agriculture minister.
The review found a “significant failing in relation to accuracy.”
How many chances does Mr Davie and the BBC get?
The BBC has a duty to uphold fairness, accuracy, and truth — it’s one of the world’s largest media organizations- yet it is failing. Its repeated claims that it takes antisemitism seriously have become meaningless. Enough words. What is needed now is decisive, meaningful action.
If the BBC continues to turn a blind eye, its institutional bias will go on fueling the antisemitism and hatred we saw so clearly when it broadcast death chants against Israel to millions during Glastonbury.
This is not just a lapse in judgment — it is part of a deeper, systemic problem.
The corporation’s coverage of Israel’s war of survival once again exposes this disturbing, entrenched bias. It is not an isolated incident. The refusal to confront and correct it reflects a profound failure of leadership.
