BBC JOURNALIST CONFRONTS ISRAELI AMBASSADOR DANNY DANON OVER CIVILIAN DEATHS AND GAZA WAR FAILURES
May 7, 2026
@bbcnews Victoria Derbyshire just delivered a masterclass in holding power to account, and the internet is losing its mind. In a high-stakes interview with Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon, Derbyshire didn’t let him hide behind the usual talking points. She went straight for the jugular, listing the devastating failures of the military campaign that the establishment tries to sweep under the rug.
While Danon tried to frame the war as a total success, Derbyshire hit him with the cold, hard facts: after months of relentless bombing, the targets are still there, but thousands of innocents and even Israel’s own people, are gone.
Danny Danon’s face said it all. He had no answer for the fact that the most moral army is leaving behind a trail of dead reporters and friendly-fire victims while failing to deliver the “total victory” they promised.
This is what real journalism looks like.

English Script:
Victoria Derbyshire: You’ve killed tens of thousands of civilians, you’ve killed paramedics, you’ve killed journalists. You’ve even killed your own hostages. But not, apparently, all the Hamas fighters. Perhaps that’s why the British Foreign Secretary said today your government is, quote, damaging the image of the State of Israel in the eyes of the world.
