Be careful about who you choose to interview. Way more Jewish representation than Palestinians which means you are not entirely telling two sides.

Is journalistic integrity even a thing at the BBC anymore or are there so many Hamas apologist BBC employees that we’ll never see a non ultra left BBC ever again? Incredibly sad and disappointing. Shame on you BBC. You have let the world down, yes, but more importantly you have absolutely...Read full review »

Superb analysis from deeply experienced reporters, objective and thoughtful analysis. Couldn’t be better.

This was such a brilliant and informative podcast. I understand there are few journalists inside Gaza but it seems weird they stopped recording episodes with no explanation?

Fine enough podcast about the Conflict in Gaza. Then they stopped updating. There will either be no middle or no end to this story they began telling.
ranby rude via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/24
The bombardment, siege, invasion and occupation of Gaza continues, why has this podcast not continued to publish updates? I thought it was a great source of knowledge and understanding. Would really appreciate further podcasts on this topic.

BBC was joke in Brexit and Joke through the troubles in Nothern Ireland. Tailored to an agenda of conservatives. Britains Fox News with GB news. Went to Al Sheena hospital with Israeli troops in an armoured vehicle says all we need to know about the coverage of a genocide BBC delivers.
Mr Kindness via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 01/24/24
Although I believe that the BBC tries to be balanced on their reporting, this podcast cannot hide their unconscious bias against Israel. The focus is heavily weighted towards what is happening in Gaza, with much less focus on Israeli trauma. As an example, the final episode spent 22 mins...Read full review »

The people of BBC are either stupid enough to believe hamas propaganda, or hate israel. Obviously, the innocents in Palestine don’t deserve to be in the middle of this conflict, but the podcast only talking about how horrible israel is.
The Anonymous Pikachu via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/30/23
This is a heated topic and either side will be frustrated when the narrative doesn’t quite go their way. BBC strives to tell the story in its entirety. Some episodes lean in one direction but its clear no specific “side” is favored. Its not biased towards hamas or Israel thats a ridiculous...Read full review »

The BBC employ a Palestinian reporter in Gaza who they they endlessly offer empathy and support to. The same is not employed within Israel. No Jewish reporter or balanced view. They have been manipulated so badly by Hamas it could be termed brainwashing.

Good podcast when it’s available

Thought provoking and informative.

Nuanced, compassionate coverage of a situation full of anguish and heartbreak on both sides. For those who seek better understanding.

Whatever happened to the BBCs credibility. This podcast is an embarrassment to the BBCs legacy
FrankJL7781 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/07/23
This biased, extremely one sided and dangerous podcasts paints a horrifying picture of Israel. This is shameful and pitiful journalism. Jeremy should be released from his role as a journalist for this atrocity and for refusing to acknowledge what “little” Hamas planned, carried out and continues...Read full review »

Listened to latest episode, interview with a Palestinian reporter. Fawning interview, didn’t hear any other side.
jrincndi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/03/23
I am no apologist for Israel. But this podcast is biased in its coverage of the Israeli-Hamas war. Like NPR in the US, the bias is demonstrated by choosing emotional stories sympathetic to the Gaza population, ignoring causal factors (eg, Hamas launching attacks from civilian areas), and...Read full review »
BWTinSF via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/30/23
The BBC seem to have a very real bias towards the Palestinian people. Saying they are the victims of this war. And although they do not hold all responsibility they do actively support Hamas by not doing anything to combat their dictatorship. Oh and remember the fact that Hamas is designated as a...Read full review »
Maximonboi via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/14/23
Talk about looking at this conflict from only one perspective. Just look at the titles of the podcasts. BBC continues to push a pro-Gazan approach of the Palestinians were forced into this occupation and “open-air” prisons and then goes on to lament how Israeli retaliations destroyed the most...Read full review »

I grew up believing what I was taught. Today, I am unlearning. I stand with the innocent people of Palestine. PERIOD
LEGOLouie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/12/23
Has it really been so long since we experienced first-hand, just how brutal, indiscriminate, violent, and destructive terrorism is, that we’re now excusing, and possibly even supporting terrorism in other countries and regions? It’s easy to criticize Israel, and they probably could be more...Read full review »

I like getting an unbiased report on what’s happening. This episode is cringe. I could barely get thru all the screaming, and I’m left not really knowing anything new. The other reports on this podcast have been okay. But I don’t know all news these days seem like they are all aimed to...Read full review »

Have been aware of Lyse’s incredible news reporting from the tv and she brings that amazing insight and compassionate reporting to the podcast which gives her time for a more considered reportage, assisted by other similarly wonderful reporters. Just listened to the latest episode: “encircled“....Read full review »

Fantastic team, great angles, from tough interview with the Israeli President to insights about Hamas’ military video quality, to snapshots of Gaza City in peacetime - a set of compassionate perspectives you get nowhere else. Somehow, though often sad, a voice of sanity amidst the agony and...Read full review »

Was very high on this podcast until Lyse’s interview with the Israeli president. It became obvious she was not interested in the answers he was giving her. She constantly interrupted him, talked over him, and seemed completely disinterested in the conversation. Very sad to see a paid professional...Read full review »

In this world of misinformation and outright lies, in my view here are voices we can trust. Thank you

I listened to the interview with the Israeli President and I was amazed to hear how often the interviewer interrupted the President in order to go to another question - to tell the story line of double standards placed upon Israel . Ask a question and let him speak . Very lopsided views by the...Read full review »

Thank goodness for the BBC, and Lyse Doucet, Jeremy Bowen and Rushdi Abualouf in particular. If the world was about to end I’d want to hear it from Lyse Doucet.

Great reporting from people on the ground in Israel and Gaza. Exploring both sides of this conflict.

Lyse, your words are so heart felt. Thank you. Stay safe 🙏
jac-scot via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/27/23
Excellent impartial analysis from clearly very experienced journalists. Many people seem to now complain that one side is getting to much focus or there is too much bias, but I’ve heard none of that on this podcast, just factual balanced insightful journalism.

Thank you for being a voice of calm and humanity in amongst this madness, holding on to an attempt at balance in a completely upside down world. My admiration for your team is immense. To hear directly from the conflict is remarkable and necessary.

Sarah E Bee via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/24/23
Much of the reporting of the current situation in Gaza and Israel just confuses and upsets me without offering much information. I find this programme a real contrast to all that. Lyse Doucet and other Colleagues calmly discuss daily events, implications and historical background, whilst showing...Read full review »
