Channel 4 News has admitted that the son of a Hamas official appeared in parts of its daily coverage of the Israel-Hamas war. The appearance of the son, Abdullah al Yazouri, follows a controversy within the BBC over a documentary that included the same individual. Channel 4 stated that Abdullah appeared in three short news segments, but not in any documentary broadcast on the channel. The broadcaster confirmed that no payment was made to Abdullah or his family members and that they took action to provide additional context to the reports in which he featured.
