Israeli President Isaac Herzog slammed the BBC for what he said was a ‘distortion of the facts’ over its reporting on Hamas during a meeting with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak today.
‘We feel that, I’ve made it out public, the way the BBC characterises Hamas is a distortion of the facts,’ Herzog told the PM, arguing the group should be referred to as ‘an atrocious terrorist organisation’ rather than ‘militants’.
Sunak, who this morning arrived in Israel to ‘express solidarity’ with the country over Hamas’s October 7 attack, responded: ‘To your last point, we should call it what it is – an act of terrorism perpetrated by an evil terrorist organisation.’
