Culture Secretary Criticizes BBC's Stance on Hamas Terminology

Lucy Frazer asserts the BBC erred by not labeling Hamas as terrorists, raising concerns about the broadcaster's impartiality.

Frazer discussed the BBC's terminology for Hamas in a private meeting, later addressing it publicly.
BBC's current policy is to refer to Hamas as militants, not terrorists, unless quoting others.
The issue has drawn criticism from government officials, including the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary.
BBC Chair Samir Shah announced a review of the broadcaster's editorial guidelines on the matter.
Frazer highlighted broader concerns about impartiality within the BBC, citing recent reviews.
