Journalist Antoinette Lattouf has won her unfair dismissal case against the ABC.

The Federal Court found the ABC breached the Fair Work Act when it terminated Ms Lattouf for reasons including that she held a political opinion opposing the Israeli military campaign in Gaza.

Ms Lattouf was fired by the ABC after sharing a social media post from Human Rights Watch that said Israel had used starvation as a "weapon of war" in Gaza.

ABC Radio National Breakfast contacted the ABC's former chief content officer Chris Oliver Taylor, former chair of the ABC Ita Buttrose, the current chair Kim Williams, and the current Managing Director Hugh Marks to join us on the program. All have declined.

The program is yet to receive a response from former Managing Director David Anderson and Director of ABC Audio Ben Latimer.

Guest: Kenneth Roth, former head of Human Rights Watch
Producer: Eleni Psaltis
