‘Forced to do PR for Israeli government’: BBC employees revolt, accuse organisation of ‘anti-Palestinian racism’ in coverage

More than 400 media workers including 111 BBC Journalists have signed an open letter accusing the broadcaster of acting as “PR for the Israeli government” and called for the removal of board member Sir Robbie Gibb over alleged conflicts of interest, according to the Canary.

The letter, addressed to Director-General Tim Davie and the BBC board, follows a series of editorial controversies and questions the BBC’s impartiality in its coverage of the Israel-Gaza conflict.
