The British BBC announced that it would refer to Palestinian Hamas, which raided Israel, as a terrorist organization from now on.
The BBC said it would no longer use ‘militant’ as its “default” term for Hamas and would describe the group as “proscribed as a terrorist organization by the UK government and other countries”.
The BBC has been referring to Hamas as an ‘armed force’ instead of a terrorist organization in accordance with its founding principle of ‘maintaining objectivity without taking sides,’ but criticism and protests against this have recently been raised by some in the political world and the pro-Israel camp.
