Hosting Sunak, Herzog slams BBC ‘distortion of facts’; UK PM: Hamas should be called terrorists

President Isaac Herzog blasts the BBC in his meeting with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, saying “he wants to raise the issue of objective or unobjective reporting about this tragedy,” as Sunaks smiles and nods his head.

“We feel that the way the BBC characterizes Hamas is a distortion of the facts. We are dealing with one of the worst terror organizations in the world, and I know that in modern democracies such as yours and ours, you cannot intervene per se, but because the BBC has a certain linkage and it is known as Britain as such all over the world, there has to be an outcry so that there will be a correction, and Hamas will be defined as a terror organization. ”

“What else do they need to see to understand that this is an atrocious terror organization?” Herzog asks.

The BBC refuses to term Hamas “terrorists.”

Sunak responds that “we should call it what it is – an act of terrorism perpetrated by an evil terrorist organization Hamas.”

“You don’t just have a right to do that, you have a duty to do that,” continues Sunak, referring to Israel restoring security to the country.

The British premier also brings up the “need for humanitarian access,” arguing that Palestinians “are victims of what Hamas has done.”
