- The EU's own official figure is 'nearly €900 million' (€883.6 million), not €1 billion; the MEP rounded the euro amount up by roughly 10-12%. The '$1 billion' headline figure corresponds to the US-dollar equivalent, not to euros.
- The claim bundles two elements — Gaza reconstruction and support for a 'modern Palestinian Authority' — but the Team Gaza Initiative figure concerns Gaza early recovery; PA support is a separate line of EU funding.
- No single source explicitly states 'nearly €1 billion in euros'; the euro figure published is €883.6 million / nearly €900 million.
