The TV presenter asked the Lib Dem MP if her Palestinian family had heard ‘any word on the street’ before Hamas’s attack on Israel.
An MP who has extended family in Gaza said she has accepted broadcaster Richard Madeley’s apology after he asked whether there was “any word on the street” ahead of Hamas’s attack.
They said the TV presenter “did not mean to imply that she or her family might have had any prior knowledge of the attacks”. Ms Moran, asked about the GMB interview during an appearance on Sky News’ Politics Hub programme on Wednesday, said: “I think my face at the time looked pretty flummoxed. “Perhaps it reminds us that in this conflict, which is complicated — this is not the slam dunk in a way that Russia-Ukraine was – this has a long history that needs to be understood and this has an important context in the wider region that needs to be understood.
During her interview with GMB, the Lib Dem foreign affairs spokeswoman spoke further about the conditions in Gaza under Israel’s siege, which has prevented food, water and other critical supplies from reaching Palestinians.
