A Jewish freelance reporter who has contributed stories for the BBC says he will no longer work with the news service over its refusal to label the Palestinian extremist group Hamas as “terrorists.”
Noah Abrahams, a 22-year-old sports commentator who contributed to BBC Radio Derby, blasted the BBC for its “unjustified” editorial policy of referring to Hamas as a “militant” group.
“A personal announcement from me: I will no longer work for or represent the BBC,” Abrahams posted on X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter.
“No more games this season. No more input.”
When reached for comment, the BBC disputed media reports characterizing Abrahams’ departure from the service as a resignation.
“It is incorrect to report that Noah has ‘quit’ and we have been in touch with media who have reported as such,” a BBC spokesperson told The Post, noting that Abrahams was a freelance commentator who “has done occasional work for BBC Derby.”
“He doesn’t have any future work lined up with the BBC so it’s not correct to say he has ‘quit’/ ‘resigned’,” according to the spokesperson.
