A former BBC chef said that the company was 'manipulated by terrorists' after the production company admitted a documentary that it had paid the family of a senior Hamas officer.
Danny Cohen, the former controller of BBC1, criticized the Beebs and called on the culture secretary, Lisa Nandy, to ensure that an independent investigation was conducted in the shortcomings of the documentary and the 'broader systemic issues of Anti-Israel Bias'.
It comes after the broadcaster has broadcast a program with the name Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone who, later revealed, a 14-year-old boy named Abdullah, the son of a senior Hamas officer.
The company revealed on Thursday evening that the boy's mother was paid by Hoyo films 'Through the bank account of his sister' for his involvement in the documentary that, as previously reported, could cause a counter terror police.
The revelation led to a coalition of politicians and campaigners to demand that the police police investigate whether license-free cash ended up on terrorists' bank accounts.
The culture secretary organized an emergency meeting with the chairman of the BBC, Samir Shah, to discuss the 'serious shortcomings' of the organization and demanded that 'no stone remains undisturbed' in a factual assessment ordered by the director-general of the BBC.
Now Mr. Chohen, former director of BBC Television from 2013 to 2015, called for an investigation.
He said to The Times: 'Given the scale of the shortcomings of the BBC, it feels absolutely suitable for the culture secretary to ensure that this happens.
Counter Terror Police was able to launch a probe after the production company admitted behind a BBC documentary that it had paid the family of a high Hamas officer.
In a statement, the National Omroep revealed that the boy's mother 'through his sister's bank account' had been paid for his involvement in the documentary
'The ultimate failure here is due to the leadership of the BBC. They are not only allowed to investigate themselves … The journalistic shortcomings of this program are part of a broader system error at the BBC. '
The broadcaster published an apology and documentary and admitted that 'serious errors' had been identified' in making the program.
A BBC spokesperson added: 'During the production process, the independent production company was asked a number of times by the BBC about possible connections that he and his family could have with Hamas.
'Since the transfer they have acknowledged that they knew that the boy's father was a deputy Minister of Agriculture in the Hamas government; They also acknowledged that they never told the BBC this fact.
But this has done little to remove indignation, because campaign feeders demand that 'arrests' are made when the BBC is found that money paid to terrorists.
Lord Ian Austin, a former Labor Member of Parliament who is now like an independent pear, told The Daily Mail: 'Certainly, those who supervise this program must be fired for the very serious professional and moral shortcomings.
'The Met must immediately investigate whether the BBC public has allowed money in the hands of terrorists.
“There must be an independent investigation into how this documentary was done and whether someone is found to be responsible for paying or supervising the payment of license-fee money to Hamas, they must experience the full force.”
The row over the documentary of the BBC, Gaza: How to Survive A Warzone, ran through the streets of the capital on Tuesday evening when Anti-Hamas demonstrators arrived outside the broadcasting home in Portland Place, London arrived

Politicians and campaigners said that heads should roll after the company had admitted 'serious errors' in the production of the documentary.
Those who are among the spotlights are head of the current affairs of BBC Joanna Carr, together with commissioning editors Gian Quaglieni and Sarah Waldron, all of whom were directly involved in the program.
Furthermore, the management chain, the highly paid Chief Executive of BBC News and Current Affairs, Deborah Turness, is also confronted with questions.
Alex Hearn, co-director of labor against anti-Semitism, added: 'Counter Terrorism Police must now investigate what happened and, if necessary, arrests must be made.
A spokesperson for campaign to anti -Semitism said: “A national treasure has become a national shame.
'The BBC has now admitted that funds for license fees have been paid to the family of a high Hamas officer.
'It has not yet been able to exclude that further payments have been made to Hamas because it continues to investigate where hundreds of thousands of pounds went.
'It is clear that those responsible must lose their jobs.
'We are among those who have reported the BBC to combat terrorism, which is now investigating.
Tim Davie, the director-general of the BBC, now asked Peter Johnston, the director of editorial complaints and assessments that have carried out the investigation into the behavior of Russell Brand, to lead a factual assessment of the episode.
BBC was approached for comment.
