- The figure of 'more than 200' significantly understates the actual number of violations. According to the Gaza Government Media Office, the actual number was approximately 2,400 violations as of April 14, 2026. Additionally, 377 violations were reported in April 2026 alone.
- The Middle East Monitor source was published on May 1, 2026 (after the session date), though it reports on data from April 2026 which the MEP could have theoretically known through other channels.
