UK communications regulator, Ofcom has suspended its Online Safety Supervision Director after anti-Israel comments were posted on her Instagram account.
Zimbabwean-born Fadzai Madzingira’s private account posted messages after the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October.
The Guido Fawkes website posted screengrabs of what appear to be posts from her account. One described Israel as an “apartheid state”.
Ofcom confirmed the suspension, “pending further investigation”.
In another post published on Guido Fawkes, Ms Madzingira appeared to like a post calling Israel and the UK a “vile colonial alliance”.
In a post published on Instagram Stories, she describes herself as a “Zimbabwean, a Black feminist, a student of decolonisation and a deep believer of liberty for all”, saying she has “one hope” before posting a Palestinian flag emoji.
The war between Israel and Gaza, which began last weekend, has killed more than 2,700 people in Gaza and over 1,400 Israelis.
