Balen Report

The Balen Report is a 20,000-word document written by the senior broadcast journalist Malcolm Balen in 2004 after examining hundreds of hours of the BBC's coverage of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The report was commissioned by former BBC Director of News, Richard Sambrook, following persistent complaints from the public and the Israeli government of allegations of anti-Israel bias. As of October 2024 it has still not been released.

On 7 March 2025, former BBC Middle East correspondent Tim Llewellyn writing for The Electronic Intifada said that he had read the report and quoted from the report that it “found no evidence of deliberate or systematic bias” against Israel.
