Overview

• COGAT and the IDF said 3-year-old Karim Ali Fouad Abu Mu’amar has Fanconi syndrome rather than starvation, posting medical documents to support the claim.
• The Daily Mirror’s Saturday front page, headlined “Stop Starving Gaza’s Kids,” presented the child’s photo as evidence of famine.
• Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Oren Marmorstein accused the newspaper of spreading Hamas propaganda over the cover image.
• X added a Community Note stating the publication concealed important medical context about the child’s condition.
• Israeli officials cast the episode as part of a broader pattern flagged by a Free Press investigation and a New York Times correction, citing a recent case in which 5-year-old Osama al-Rakab was transferred from Gaza for treatment of a genetic illness in Italy.
