Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz called High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell Fontelles an anti-Semite.
The accusation came after Fontelles criticized an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza school while failing to mention that the school was used by Hamas as a base for terror operations.
“Josep Borrell Fontelles is an anti-Semite and Israel-hater who consistently tries to pass resolutions and sanctions against Israel in the EU, only to be blocked by most member states,” stated Katz.
“There’s a difference between legitimate criticism and policy disagreements, which are normal among friends, and the anti-Semitic, hate-filled campaign Borrell is leading against Israel – reminiscent of history’s worst anti-Semites,” he added. “Instead of acting against the Iranian axis of evil, which threatens Europe’s security, he aligns with them in anti-Israel initiatives.”
