The BBC has faced sustained criticism over its coverage of the Gaza conflict, with allegations of pro-Israel bias prompting calls for the removal of board member Robbie Gibb. More than 400 cultural and media figures, including Alexei Sayle, Juliet Stevenson, Mike Leigh, and William Dalrymple, have signed letters urging the BBC to uphold impartiality and remove Gibb due to concerns about his influence on editorial decisions. Over 100 BBC journalists and 300 media professionals have also accused the broadcaster of echoing Israeli government narratives. A report in Prospect Magazine alleged that Gibb did not recuse himself from discussions about the broadcaster's Israel-Gaza coverage. The controversy intensified after the BBC admitted breaching its own editorial guidelines in the documentary "Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone," which featured the son of a Hamas leader as narrator and included payments to him. Despite acknowledging the breach, an internal review found the documentary's content to be duly impartial. The UK media regulator Ofcom announced an investigation into the documentary following the BBC's admission. The BBC chair, Samir Shah, stated that several staff members have been dismissed amid a reform program aimed at improving how misconduct reports are handled. The ongoing controversy has sparked broader debate about the BBC's editorial standards and credibility in its Gaza war coverage.
