BBC rejects incorrect White House claims on Gaza coverage
BBC News
The BBC has rejected claims from the White House that it had edited a video to show an explosion in Gaza not happening. The BBC filmed a rocket landing in Gaza and a second later landing in Israel, with the footage used in several reports. But a tweet from the White House social media account claimed the BBC had edited the footage to make it look like the rocket appeared in Israel seconds after landing in Gaza. However, the BBC has now provided a full video of its reporting to show the claim is false. The White House has apologised and deleted its original tweet, which the BBC said it viewed as a direct attack on its reporting and its journalist’s integrity. The BBC’s Director of News, Jonathan Munro, called the claims “completely untrue” and said the broadcaster reserved the right to pursue legal action.
