Israel Demands Immediate Retraction of UN Backed Report on Gaza Famine Calling it a Fake

Jerusalem, 27 August, 2025 (TPS-IL) — Israel Foreign Ministry Director General Eden Bar-Tal presented an analysis of the report from the IPC (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification – the UN-backed system for assessing famine risk) that reveals, according to the IPC’s own data, what the Foreign Ministry called, “the gross falsifications committed” by the organization “in order to reach a political outcome that would serve the Hamas campaign” accusing Israel of causing starvation in Gaza.

The Director General sent a letter to the IPC today demanding the immediate removal of the “falsified report.” If the report is not removed, Israel will contact donor countries with a request to stop funding the IPC.

Bar-Tal presented the analysis at a press conference the global media held today, August 27.

In addition, Bar-Tal presented revealed a letter that Israel sent to the IPC today, firmly demanding that the report be shelved.

Some of the falsifications cited by Bar-Tal included:

The IPC invented information that does not exist: They invented 182 virtual deaths to reach the threshold of 188, supposedly for starvation.

The IPC cherry-picked data: out of a survey of 15,749 children, they only took data from 7,519 children, which leads to the desired political result of the report’s authors.

IPC hid data that contradicts the agenda: The IPC conducted two surveys in Gaza – and hid in an appendix one of the surveys that shows there is no hunger in Gaza.
