| [IsraelTimes] UK opposition leader Kemi Badenoch sends a letter to the BBC demanding to know whether the broadcaster used license fees paid by the British public to make payments to Hamas, the Daily Mail reports. Her inquiry comes after the BBC on Friday removed a documentary about the Gaza war from its online streaming service, once it emerged that the child who is a central figure in the film is the son of a Hamas deputy minister, a fact that is not disclosed in the movie. Badenoch’s letter, seen by the Daily Mail, calls for a probe into any “potential collusion with Hamas” and “the possibility of payment to terrorists.” According to the Daily Mail, the BBC said it could not immediately answer her question and was carrying out “further due diligence” on how the program was made. “Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone” is narrated by Abdullah Al-Yazouri, a 14-year-old boy. His father is Ayman Al-Yazouri, deputy minister of agriculture in the Strip’s Hamas government. Badenoch also said anti-Israel bias in the BBC’s reporting of the conflict was not an “isolated incident” and called for rooting out the “systemic and institutional bias against Israel.” Related: Kemi Badenoch 01/24/2025 Southport Child Slayings Reignites Debate on UK's Abolition of The Death Penalty Kemi Badenoch 01/15/2025 Tulip Siddiq resigns as Treasury minister Kemi Badenoch 11/14/2024 Trump 'Outright Hostile' to UK Surrendering Strategic Air Base |
