Lawyer \u2018obliterates\u2019 BBC News\u2019 Israel war coverage live on air<\/h3>\n

Conservative Deputy Chairman Lee Anderson has accused the BBC of running “anti-Israel propaganda” after it was condemned by Jewish groups for yet another case of misreporting the war against Hamas.<\/p>\n

The Corporation was publicly condemned by the Jewish Board of Deputies for claiming that medical teams and Arab speakers at a hospital in Gaza were being targeted by the Israeli Defence Force (IDF).<\/p>\n

The BBC has since apologised but the Board said it was “appalled” by the mistake.<\/p>\n

However, the BBC apology was not enough to impress Mr Anderson who, along with Tory MPs, Israel and Jewish groups, has been raising concerns about its coverage of the Israel-Hamas war.<\/p>\n

Mr Anderson told Express.co.uk: “The BBC are once again far too quick to get anti-Israel propaganda out rather than the facts. It’s appalling journalism at best but some would say it is just propaganda. I tend to agree.”<\/p>\n

Mr Anderson’s comments come after the BBC provoked fury for refusing to refer to Hamas as a terrorist group even though it is proscribed in the UK and slaughtered 1,400 Israeli citizens on October 7.<\/p>\n

Previously it has apologised for a misleading report which incorrectly suggested that Israel had blown up a hospital in Gaza.<\/p>\n

There have also been calls for a review of BBC coverage after it was accused of using a Hamas propaganda actor in one of its news bulletins.<\/p>\n

The BBC has pointed out that it and other news organisations have argued that the claims about the so-called actor is a conspiracy theory.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, BBC Director General Tim Davie was met with a furious response when he met Conservative MPs at the 1922 Committee last month.<\/p>\n
