Pressure grows on BBC as leaked papers point to Gaza film cover-up

The BBC has been accused of attempting a ‘cover-up’ over a Gaza documentary narrated by the son of a Hamas minister – after The Mail on Sunday obtained a copy of its contract with the film’s producers.

Amid a political storm over its alleged anti-Israel bias, the corporation was forced to apologise after it emerged that Abdullah – the child narrator on BBC2’s Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone – was the son of Ayman Alyazouri, who has worked as Hamas’s deputy agriculture minister.
