The Trump White House press secretary accused the broadcaster of spreading misinformation.
The BBC has hit back at White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt after she attacked its coverage of the war in Gaza.
Leavitt accused the British public service broadcaster of spreading “misinformation” over the way it covered claims that Israel had killed Palestinians near an aid distribution center on Sunday.
Speaking at a White House briefing, she said: “We don’t take the word of Hamas with total truth. We like to look into it when they speak, unlike the BBC.”
Holding up a piece of paper containing images of BBC reports, she went on: “They wrote ‘Israeli tank kills 26’, ‘Israeli tank kills 21’, Israeli gunfire kills 31′, ‘Red Cross says 21 were killed in an aid incident’. And then, oh wait, they had to take down their entire story, saying ’we reviewed the footage and couldn’t find any evidence of anything.”
But in a video posted on X, BBC News analysis editor Ros Atkins said Leavitt’s diatribe “was repeatedly false.”
