Hamas leader, Ismail Haniyeh, was met with Iran's President, Masoud Pezeshkian, in Tehran before his assassination on July 31, 2024.
While Ismail Haniyeh was described as 'moderate and pragmatic' by the BBC yesterday, the bloodthirsty Hamas terror leader was anything but.
He returned to Gaza and by the time Israel withdrew in 2005 he was head of the Hamas office in the strip. He finally became leader of the political bureau in 2017 and moved to Qatar. He was seen chanting 'Death to Israel, death to America' in Iran on Monday. Less than 12 hours later, he was dead. Last night, critics slated the BBC for their account of Ismail Haniyeh, which was repeated multiple times on and published online on Wednesday.
'In what reality can the head of an organisation responsible for so much death, sexual violence and hate be called moderate? Opening a Westminster Hall debate on the subject, he warned that the corporation's reporting had 'fuelled the appalling rise of anti-Semitism' and 'harmed diplomatic efforts to bring an end to the violence'.
'The BBC has found itself at the centre of ever-increasing controversy in recent years and it is the organisation's coverage of the Israel-Hamas war, which has led it to comprehensively fail the British public,' said Sir Michael, who is Jewish.
