The BBC has suspended six journalists in the Middle East for reportedly posting anti-Israeli messages on social media.
The BBC News Arabic reporters are suspected of breaking the British broadcaster’s strict impartiality rules related to content supportive of Hamas on X, formerly Twitter.
“We are urgently investigating this matter. We take allegations of breaches of our editorial and social media guidelines with the utmost seriousness, and if and when we find breaches we will act, including taking disciplinary action,” the BBC said in a statement.
