The BBC has pulled a Gaza documentary after its producer took aim at director-general Tim Davie.

The broadcaster was forced to apologise in February after being accused of airing a “propaganda” film, which contained contributions from the son of a leading Hamas minister.

BBC bosses have now dropped another planned Gaza film.

The decision came after the head of Basement Films, the film’s production company, branded Mr Davie a “PR person” who could not be trusted to make editorial decisions.

The BBC had initially delayed the release of the film, Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, while it conducted a review into the disastrous release of its previous Gaza documentary.
