Karoline Leavitt escalates war against 'fake news' BBC after dramatic back-and-forth on Hamas

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has escalated her attacks against the BBC for its recent coverage of the Israel-Hamas war.

Leavitt, 27, said that the BBC took 'the word of Hamas' after it reported on a shooting at an aid station in Gaza on Sunday.

The Hamas-backed Civil Defence agency claims there were between 21 to 31 killed after Israeli forces opened up fire at an aid station near Rafah on Sunday. Over 170 were reported injured, though Israel denies it was involved.

'Unfortunately, unlike some in the media we don't take the word of Hamas with total truth. We like to look into it when they speak, unlike the BBC,' Leavitt said during a press briefing on Tuesday after getting questioned about the incident.

She accused the British outlet of writing 'multiple headlines' that she took issue with.

'Israeli tank kills 26, Israeli tank kills 21, Israeli gunfire kills 31, Red Cross says 21 people were killed in an aid incident,' Leavitt said of the BBC's changing headline.

'And then oh wait they had to correct and take down their entire story, saying we reviewed the footage and couldn't find any evidence of anything,' the secretary charged.

'So we're going to look into reports before we confirm them from this podium or before we take action and I suggest that journalists who actually care about truth do the same to reduce the amount of disinformation that's going around the globe on this front,' she continued, rebuking the outlet.

Not just BBC. Global media in general, Canada, France, Germany, others, will reprint the fake BBC reports without any question or verification.

Hamas can claim Israel is cutting fetuses from the womb of Arab women and is eating them. BBC and the others will print it immidiately, because they do not care if it is true or not. Everyone will hear the accusation. Nobody will hear the correction. And that is the point of what they are doing. That is what they want.

Everything Hamas says is truth. Everything Israel says is a lie. This opposite world is how they think when agenda is more important than facts.

IDF says troops fired on suspects outside Gaza aid site; Hamas health officials say 27 killed
Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, responsible for aid delivery, insists it was handed out ‘safely and without incident’ and event took place ‘well beyond’ secured distribution site
Times of Israel, Jun 3, 2025

For the third day in a row, the Israel Defense Forces said Tuesday that troops opened fire on Palestinian suspects who approached them around 500 meters (550 yards) from a humanitarian aid distribution site in the Rafah area of southern Gaza.

Health officials in the Hamas-run Strip reported 27 dead and dozens wounded in the incident. The tolls could not be verified. Media outlets in Gaza also reported, without confirmation, that Gazan hospitals had received several people killed or injured by gunfire while waiting for humanitarian aid.

According to the IDF, while crowds of Palestinians were making their way to the aid distribution site in Rafah via organized routes, troops spotted several suspects approaching who were not on the pre-approved path, around half a kilometer (0.3 miles) from the aid complex.

“The forces fired warning shots, and after they did not disperse, additional fire was carried out next to several suspects who approached the forces,” the military said.

The IDF said it was aware of the reports of casualties and was investigating the incident.

The IDF said that it was allowing GHF to operate “independently to distribute aid to Gaza residents and prevent it from reaching the Hamas terror organization.”

“IDF troops do not prevent the arrival of Gaza residents to the distribution sites. The shooting was carried out about half a kilometer from the distribution site, toward individual suspects approaching the forces in a manner that threatened them,” the military said.

The claims on Tuesday came after two days of similar reports out of Rafah, with 31 people reported killed early Sunday and three more on Monday, according to Hamas, eyewitnesses and aid groups.
