According to the British “Telegraph” newspaper, eight journalists of the BBC news network based in Great Britain In a 2,300-word letter to Al Jazeera, the manager of this network accused him of wrongly siding with the positions of the Zionist regime during the Gaza war and stated that since the beginning of the war in Gaza, this network has been covering “accurate” news related to the conflicts between the regime. Zionist and Hamas has failed.

These journalists, who asked the Al-Jazeera network not to share their identities due to security reasons, wrote in the mentioned letter that “news coverage The BBC’s coverage of the plight of Palestinians during the war has been very low” and accused the BBC of adopting a double standard in relation to Palestinian civilians.

They They have stated that the BBC, under the influence of removing reality and not criticizing the actions and claims of the Zionist regime, could not give a correct narrative of the war in Gaza. BBC News has written: From October 7 to today, thousands of Palestinians have been killed during the Gaza war. How many dead must reach to change the position of our editorial team on the war?” BBC managers should also send because they believe that this action will not lead to meaningful and constructive discussions to change the positions of managers of this network.
