More than 400 cultural and media figures, including 111 current BBC journalists, have signed an open letter calling for the removal of BBC board member Sir Robbie Gibb. The signatories accuse Gibb of having a conflict of interest due to his close ties to The Jewish Chronicle and a pro-Israel stance, which they claim has compromised the BBC's editorial impartiality and credibility in its coverage of the Gaza conflict. Reports in Prospect Magazine allege that Gibb has not recused himself from discussions with the BBC's director general and chairman regarding the broadcaster's reporting on Israel and Gaza. The letter urges the BBC to uphold its values of impartiality, honesty, and fearless reporting, expressing concern that Gibb's role is untenable and that opaque decisions at senior levels have influenced the network's editorial stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
