BBC may be investigated by police over Hamas involvement in Gaza documentary

The BBC may be investigated by British counterterrorism police over whether it paid money to terror group Hamas, after it was revealed that the narrator for a recent documentary about the war in Gaza was the son of a Hamas minister.

“Officers from the Met’s Counter ­Terrorism Command are currently ­assessing whether any police action is required in relation to this matter,” a spokesman tells The Times.

After pulling the documentary from streaming and acknowledging “serious flaws” in its conduct, the BBC has admitted that some money was paid to the boy’s family. According to The Times, this is thought to be a few hundred pounds.

The network is now conducting a review of the case and the behavior of production company Hoyo Films. The British government has also demanded accountability from the broadcaster.
