The teenage son of a senior Hamas official who featured in a since-pulled BBC documentary on Gaza was also the focus of an award-winning documentary by another British news channel a year ago, though his connection to the Palestinian terror group largely went unnoticed until now, the Telegraph reports.
The British outlet reports: “For seven months, Channel 4 News broadcast footage of Abdullah al-Yazouri, who was then 13, without disclosing he was the son of Dr. Ayman Alyazouri, the deputy agriculture minister in Gaza’s Hamas-run government.”
The program, which focused on financial hardships in Gaza, won multiple awards, including being picked as news program of the year by Press Gazette and the Royal Television Society (RTS), as well as winning a Bafta and an International Emmy for news reporting, according to the new report.
The RTS is said to now be reevaluating the award.
