EU Foreign Policy head claims Netanyahu wants war with Iran, repeats debunked claims around starvation in Gaza.
By World Israel News Staff
An outgoing European Union official repeated false claims about the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, alleging that Israel prevents the entry of aid into the coastal enclave during an interview on Friday.
Josep Borrell, the EU’s High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, has repeatedly attack Israel since the October 7th Hamas massacres.
“I have seen warehouses and warehouses of humanitarian aid piled up, rotting, that cannot enter when on the other side of the fence there are two million people who are dying of hunger or diseases,” Borrell claimed to Spanish outlet Onda Cero.
Borrell did not acknowledge the fact that Israel has permitted massive amounts of aid to enter the Strip since the beginning of the conflict, nor that much of the aid is stolen by Hamas terrorists and then sold for profit to Gazans.
The politician also failed to acknowledge last week’s murder of a humanitarian aid worker by Hamas terrorists.
Prime Minister Benjamin “Netanyahu should not go to the UN saying that [the IDF] is the most moral army in the world” when Gazans are struggling with food insecurity, Borrell added.
Borrell maintained that Israel should not respond to last Tuesday’s Iranian attack, which saw Tehran fire some 200 ballistic missiles at the Jewish State.
“Netanyahu wants a conflict, and he wants to start it from a position of strength,” Borrell declared, ignoring Iran’s non-stop attacks on Israel via its proxy groups since October 7th.
He also ignored Iran’s previous attack on Israel in April, to which Jerusalem did not retaliate.
“This cycle of attacks risks [risks] fueling an uncontrollable regional escalation,” Borrell tweeted shortly after the missile barrage, which sent some 9 million Israelis into bomb shelters.
“We call on all parties to exert maximum restraint,” he added.
