Four top British lawyers have made a complaint to Ofcom over the BBC’s refusal to call Hamas members terrorists.

Writing to the communications regulator on Wednesday, the Jewish lawyers said the BBC has “fallen well below the standards expressed in its Editorial Values” in its reporting of the Israel-Hamas war.
