European Union foreign affairs chief Joseph Borrell reiterated a previous assertion on Monday, maintaining that Israel played a role in the genesis of Hamas.
Addressing questions concerning his earlier statement in January, Borrell, as quoted by AFP, reiterated his position during a forum at a business school in Madrid.
“I do not say that (Israel) financed it by sending a check, but it has enabled the development of Hamas” as a rival to Fatah, he said in a forum at a business school in Madrid.
“It is an unquestionable reality that Israel has bet on dividing the Palestinians, creating a force to oppose Fatah,” added Borrell.
Opponents of Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu have accused him and his governments of boosting Hamas for years, including by allowing Qatari financing of Gaza. Netanyahu has denied those allegations.
Borrell previously condemned Hamas for using “hospitals and civilians as human shields” in Gaza, but also urged Israel to show “maximum restraint” to protect civilians from the war it is waging against Hamas.
Earlier this month, the EU foreign affairs chief urged allies of Israel — primarily the United States — to stop sending it weapons as “too many people” are being killed in Gaza.
Pointing to US President Joe Biden’s earlier comment that Israel’s military action was “over the top”, Borrell said, “Well, if you believe that too many people are being killed, maybe you should provide less arms in order to prevent so many people have been killed.”

Has this Sonai-Yisrael been added to the list? It’s an unusual opportunity when a governmental or Mafia swell unmasks his fangs.
Haaretz already mentioned this 4 years ago that the Mossad (C/I/A in Israel) urged Qatar to finance Hamas.
Does that make enough sense to be true? Does Qatar give a hoot about what the Mossad says? Who in Qatar is picking up the phone when the Mossad calls?
Your posts shows that you have no clue who the Mossad is. 6:16’s moniker says it all.
So that’s your reason Israelis should submit to living in danger of a ferocious murderous people that proved their intentions once and promised to repeat.
That’s why you say Israelis should be killed. I guess I understand where you are coming from.
Guess you showed your true colors disgusting anti-semite! Your opinion doesn’t matter anymore.
He is 100% correct. Bibi knew about the plans for the massacre weeks ahead of Oct 7. Whoever thinks that he cares for his people and the hostages is delusional. Bibi should step down and be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.
You’re motzi shem ra on Bibi. The real Bibi was replaced several years ago with an Arab Ashmedai who orchestrated the attack with other government officials at least a year ago, as per Real Media.
You are not the one to be telling others that they are delusional…
