"No justification whatsoever" for 10 measures being considered by the E.U. to censure Israel over its war against Hamas in Gaza, said Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar.
“Not any” of the ten optional measures being prepared by the European Union to censure Israel over its war against Hamas in Gaza will be adopted on Tuesday by member states, said Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar on Monday. “There is no justification whatsoever” for them, he added.
Speaking to the press as he arrived in Brussels to attend a ministerial meeting between the European Union and its southern neighbors from the Middle East and North Africa, Sa’ar said: “What we see is Hamas stopping people to get the aid directly because they want to be the mediators of humanitarian aid.”
Aid is a resource for the terrorist group, he said. “They threaten people, they shoot people, they kidnap people, kill Palestinians, attack Americans. But it is crucial that this aid will be given to the people and it is important to disconnect the aid from Hamas. This is part of the things that we have raised in our dialogue with the E.U., to develop methods [of aid delivery] that will reach the people and not Hamas.”
