On August 26, 2025, MG Ghassan Alian, head of Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), dismissed the IPC’s Gaza famine report as relying on partial, Hamas-affiliated sources. He criticized its methodological flaws and biased approach, claiming it ignores Israel’s extensive humanitarian efforts with international partners. Alian urged the global community to reject the report’s misleading narrative and focus on verified data, arguing it undermines trust in international assessments.
