Several BBC journalists have resigned from their union after being urged to wear the colors of the Palestinian flag or a keffiyeh to mark a 'Day of Action For Palestine '. Jewish employees were shocked by the invitation from the Trades Union Congress for a protest condemning Israeli attacks and calling for a ceasefire, the end of violence in Gaza, and the release of hostages.
The National Union of Journalists criticized the Israeli government's actions, which they claim have resulted in the deaths of at least 135 Palestinian journalists since October 7, 2023. However, colleagues argued that such displays of solidarity could compromise the broadcaster's impartiality, leading to at least a dozen journalists planning to resign from the NUJ
