12:47 (09:47)⇢UN Famine Declaration Challenged
⌨Israeli media extensively reports on the UN's declaration of a "famine epidemic" in Gaza City, at the highest severity level (13tv, Haaretz, Israel Hayom, n12, walla). Israel strongly condemns this official declaration, with military and government officials branding the UN report as "false," "biased," and relying on Hamas data (13tv, Israel Hayom, Kan, Mako, n12, now14, i24NEWS, kikar, walla). Israel fears a political move, publishing counter-reports and videos to refute the claims (now14, kikar).
