North Carolina – 11 November 2025
This week’s resignation of BBC’s CEO Tim Davie and CEO of BBC News Deborah Turness was welcomed by UG Solutions cadre of American veterans working to support humanitarian aid delivery in Gaza. For months, UG Solutions was smeared and defamed by biased and ill-informed reporting that resulted in real life consequences including death threats, legal actions, and harassment of our staff and contractors. We can only hope that moving forward, the BBC will live up to its mandate to provide impartial news where all sides of an argument, situation, or event have equal coverage.
On many occasions, BBC journalists would request UG Solutions responses to questions which we were happy to provide with context and additional information. A vast majority of these responses were disregarded in BBC reporting or were used as fodder for responses by pro-Hamas organizations such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Amplifying discredited former contractor Anthony Aguilar, despite UG Solutions providing robust legal and internal documents that proved Aguilar was dishonest, is but one example of how the BBC was not an honest actor in its dealings with UG Solutions, despite our good-faith efforts to assist them to maintain journalistic standards.
UG Solutions believe that BBC knew that as a primary news outlet that other media would republish or share their reporting, magnifying the half-truths and blatant disinformation about our work, our relationships with the Gazan public, and intentions in supporting aid delivery. Going forward, we will not take on faith that BBC journalists will “do the right thing” by including any information that we provide or responses to their queries. In the sense of full transparency, we will post their questions and our responses to our website for all to access – BBC leadership, other journalists, and the general public.
