The BBC has been slammed as “shameless” after they interviewed a Palestinian chief who called Hamas’ October 7 massacre “glorious”.

Mustafa Barghouti, the General Secretary of the Palestinian National Initiative party, spoke on Radio 4’s World at One show on Wednesday. His appearance comes after the Israeli military launched a series of strikes in the West Bank, killing nine Palestinians.
