🧵 The UN-backed IPC just declared “famine” in Gaza City.
Here’s why that claim is WRONG — and why it matters. 1/
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) is the gold-standard system for declaring famine.

Its word carries huge political and legal weight — cited in the UN Security Council, ICJ, and the media.

But in Gaza, the IPC broke its own rules.

🧵Netanyahu is giving his first international press conference since the Security Cabinet decided to expand the military operation in Gaza: Netanyahu says Hamas still has 1000s of armed terrorists and is threatening more October 7s "again and again". Gazans are begging to be freed. No country can tolerate such a regime a stone's throw from its citizens. Israel's goal is to free Gaza from Hamas.

🧵 What's the truth about the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation? Its mission is to deliver aid straight to civilians and bypass a broken UN system and Hamas interception. But it's experiencing pushback.

British military expert @Mr_Andrew_Fox went into Gaza himself to investigate 🔽 1/ First, a history of aid since Hamas launched the war. After a brief shutdown, Israel let in aid trucks, and within a month lifted restrictions on quantities. During the "second ceasefire", Gaza was flooded with enough aid to last till late July 2025 based on @WFP figures.

🧵 Hamas feels completely vindicated by the decision to launch this war with the October 7 Massacre. Ghazi Hamad gave an explosive interview, revealing Hamas' twisted thinking. World leaders should understand how they're emboldening Hamas:

Key points ⬇️ 1/ Hamas thinks the world's response to October 7 proved it was the right decision. Instead of revulsion, it led to support for the Palestinians and recognition of statehood. The global reaction emboldened Hamas.

They're looking back at October 7 as Independence Day.

🧵The Iranian regime is openly committed to Israel's annihilation, and is actively pursuing the weapons to do it. Here's a short thread just of tweets by @khamenei_ir expressing genocidal intent toward the Jewish state.

This is from last month: 1⃣October 3, 2023

Just four days before Iranian proxy army Hamas launched the October 7 War. Khamenei called Israel a "cancer" that would "definitely be eradicated."

💥 British Foreign Secretary David Lammy misled Parliament by making up a Netanyahu quote

Lammy addressed Parliament last week about Gaza aid. He quoted Netanyahu saying Israel would let in “just enough to prevent hunger.”

There's only one problem:
❌ Netanyahu never said it. So where did this made-up quote come from?

I Googled “just enough to prevent hunger."

It appears in a BBC story, which quotes a video from Netanyahu, explaining to his domestic audience why Israel was letting aid into Gaza again.

So naturally, I went to the video...

Ilana Gritzewski survived Hamas captivity. Her boyfriend Matan Zangauker is still trapped in Gaza.

She shared chilling details with the House Foreign Affairs Commitee 🧵 1/ “On the way to Gaza, they kept beating me because, for them, I was a prize. They also started touching me everywhere and at that point on the motorcycle, I passed out. Physically and mentally, I couldn't handle it anymore. I guess my body preferred to shut down.”

UNRWA is a Hamas front, whose staff took part in the October 7 Massacre.

Since then, @UNLazzarini has been on a frenzied campaign to cover up his UN agency’s links to Hamas.

Let’s demolish his lies one by one 🧵 ❌ LIE 1: "All allegations have been thoroughly investigated."

✅ The Truth:

Israel provided raw intelligence on UNRWA's takeover by Hamas and Islamic Jihad to the United Nations.

But the UN hasn't ordered an independent investigation.

The two UN bodies looking into UNRWA (OIOS & Colonna) say it's none of their business.

UNRWA can't investigate itself, because it's spent the last year whitewashing its collusion with Hamas.

Qatar wants Hamas to win the October 7 War.

This autocratic regime's state-controlled media is spinning the war as a "crushing historic victory" for Hamas. A new @MEMRIReports report lays out how 🧵

memri.org/reports/qatari… 1. First, let's be clear: Qatar is Hamas' state sponsor. It condemned ISRAEL for the October 7 Massacre as its citizens were still being slaughtered in their safe rooms. Qatar has never condemned Hamas for massacring and abducting innocent Israelis on October 7, 2023.

🚨 Israel has submitted a report to the UN about Hamas’ torture and abuse of hostages in the Gaza Terror Dungeons.

It’s worse than you think 🧵 1. Hostages (including children!) were purposely branded with a hot object

2. One hostage described being sexually assaulted at gunpoint, others also reported sexual assault

3. Women were forced to undress in front of captors and tied to beds as they stared

🧵It has been six months since the darkest moment in Jewish history since the Holocaust: the October 7 Massacre. Six months on, here are the key @IDF figures: Israel's military response:

🫡 Israel called up 300,000 reservists (3.1% of the population) to fight Hamas.

🕯️600 soldiers killed since 10/7, including 256 since the start of the ground operation (Oct. 27)

❤️‍🩹 3,188 soldiers injured (497 severely, 849 moderately)

The @IDF's initial review of the tragic killing of @WCKitchen aid workers finds it was a "grave mistake" based on a misidentification. Sometimes militaries make terrible mistakes based on misidentifications, like the US drone strike in Kabul that killed an aid worker in 2021.⬇️ In the final stretch of the Afghanistan War, on 29 August, 2021, the US military launched a drone strike in Kabul, thinking it was preventing an imminent threat to US forces. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Mark Milley, praised the strike as "righteous".

This is how lies, damned lies, and statistics feed cooked-up allegations of "starvation".

🔨Let's dive into a #demolitionjob of this manipulative @washingtonpost analysis, which wants you to think Gazans were eating cement before the war.
washingtonpost.com/world/interact… 1. The report starts by pointing out a "Gaza aid deficit". That's not true, because because 68% of the trucks entering Gaza before the war weren't even carrying food. It was 50% construction supplies, and we know what Hamas did with that. UN data: ochaopt.org/data/crossings

Holocaust survivor Aharon Barak was the only survivor of an actual genocide on the ICJ bench today.

Take time today to read the separate opinion.

Thread with key quotes 🧵

#NeverAgainIsNow

icj-cij.org/sites/default/… ▪️ South Africa came to the Court seeking the immediate suspension of the military operations in the Gaza Strip. It wrongly sought to impute the crime of Cain to Abel. The Court rejected South Africa’s main contention.

This is fake news, and there's so much that's wrong with this report, that we're going to need a thread to do a proper #factcheck 🧵 1. The article begins with a statement about backed-up trucks, but those trucks are backed up AFTER Israeli inspection. The @UN is failing to distribute aid at the pace Israel is processing it. The backlog actually points to Israeli efficiency, as opposed to UN incompetency.

❌ This in @nytimes is simply false and easily fact-checked. Israel places ZERO restrictions on water, food, and medicine entering Gaza. On the contrary, we have repeatedly told the UN it’s welcome to send more. It’s so fake I don’t even understand where it’s coming from. In fact, here are obstacles to aid delivery in Gaza per @WFP. None of those are “Israel cutting off water, fuel and medicine”. The UN is simply failing to distribute aid at the pace Israel is inspecting it, and it’s covering up its failure by projecting onto Israel. Enough.

UPDATE: The IDF has completed an extensive operation to dismantle Hamas' northern underground headquarters in Gaza, revealing underground infrastructure where IDF soldiers discovered hostages’ bodies In fierce battles to secure the Hamas stronghold of Jabalia, the IDF exposed a strategic tunnel network that served as Hamas' northern headquarters in Gaza. The first level was 10m deep under the city, the second dozens of meters deep.

⚠️ EXPOSED⚠️

This is how Hamas and PIJ launch attacks against Israel disguised as civilians.

It is a war crime—part of a deliberate strategy of human shields.

The world must demand Gaza terrorists stop dressing up as civilians and putting real civilians in harm's way. This evidence of Hamas' war crimes comes from its own propaganda.

Just like with the October 7 Massacre, Hamas proudly documents its own war crimes!

Hamas terrorists have as much disdain for international law as for human life and decency.

Last night, an Islamic Jihad rocket fired from a cemetery behind a hospital in Gaza misfired—and hit the Al Ahli Hospital, killing innocent Palestinian civilians.

Want the evidence? Buckle up for a thread.

Run it by an OSINT expert if you don't believe me.⬇️ 1. @AlJazeera broadcast the Islamic Jihad misfire LIVE. 18:59, rocket misfires and explodes. You see the shrapnel falling, then immediately an explosion at the hospital. That's a slam dunk in itself.

On my way to the funeral of a young Brazilian woman murdered at the music festival. A message went out urging strangers to attend, because she has barely any family here. There’s a 2km line snaking out of the entrance of the cemetery and I doubt we’ll make it. The funeral was scheduled for 20min ago. We thought we were early. Still 1.4km just to reach the entrance of the cemetery. Israelis are amazing at responding to calls to attend funerals. Such strong social solidarity here in the absolute darkest of circumstances.
