British broadcaster GB News has apologised and paid “substantial damages” after it broadcasted false claims made by an Emirati influencer that the UK-based charity Islamic Relief had funded “terrorists”.

The claim by Amjad Taha, who often appears in right-wing media outlets advancing Emirati talking points, was made during the 16 February edition of the The Camilla Tominey Show.

Taha incorrectly said Islamic Relief “is sending money all the way to some terrorist groups in the Middle East…”

In September, GB News issued a clarification, which read: "We accept the allegation that Islamic Relief has funded terrorist groups is untrue.
