Tim Davie has defended the BBC's decision not to air Gaza: Doctors Under Attack but admitted the corporation made a "bad mistake" with the controversial documentary Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone. The BBC commissioned the documentary but produced it independently, and it was shelved by the Beeb over impartiality concerns before it was later aired on Channel 4.
Mr Davie was asked by MPs today if the BBC had been overcautious in not broadcasting it to viewers. He stated: "No, I think we made the right decision, but I don't think it's news by the way, from our side here. In terms of the work, it's current affairs. There's a slight difference in terms of a doc... It's fairly straightforward where we were, which is we were a little bit frustrated, because clearly the voice is the medics.
"We've given a lot of voice on our airways, and on our news coverage, to medics working in Gaza under extreme conditions and the terrible things they're having to face, which is horrendous, but in this film it's pretty straightforward."
He continued: "I take your feedback if you think we're being too cautious, but my view, and the view of the news leadership, was that we clearly had someone with a position and we needed a narrator who was a BBC journalist making sure that we weren't open to that."
Mr Davie also talked about the scandal which emerged after a report found the BBC failed to disclose information about the child narrator's father's position within the Hamas-run government in the BBC's Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone documentary.
The film was removed from BBC iPlayer in February after it was revealed that Abdullah, the child narrator, is the son of Ayman Alyazouri, who has worked as Hamas's deputy minister of agriculture.
Mr Davie said: "There are people who are facing consequences. It was a bad mistake, I think the report also says HOYO Films not disclosing that information was important to us."
BBC chairman Samir Shad added: "It was a real mistake. What the report found was that we were not open and transparent about the relationship of the narrator to a Hamas official, which really goes straight to the heart of the BBC's reputational risk in terms of being impartial and trustworthy. It was a sin of omission, which is just as serious as a sin of commission."
The director general also said Gaza has been "the toughest editorial coverage challenge we've ever had", adding that it was "unacceptable" Israel is not allowing journalists into Gaza.
