“If you believe that too many people are being killed, maybe you should provide fewer arms to prevent so many people [from] being killed. Isn't it logical?” Borrell asked.
Borrell recalled that US President Joe Biden said last week that Israel's response to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack had been "over the top."
"Yes, Hamas was financed by the government of Israel in an attempt to weaken the Palestinian Authority led by Fatah," Borrell said in a speech.
Jordan and Spain were both present and commented on the state of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
He arrived on the 41st day of the war, as the international concern continue to grow over the IDF’s activities in Al-Shifa hospital to remove Hamas weapons and search for signs of the hostages.
Such accusations and calls would appear to display either ignorance or deliberate disregard of the requirements of international law and practice.
Cohen barred Borrell from making an official visit to Israel earlier this year.
Israel in particular wants the IAEA’s board to vote in June to ask the UN Security Council to reinstate crippling sanctions against Iran.
Readers of The Jerusalem Post have their say.
Borrell is not barred from the country but the Foreign Ministry does not intend to host him for an official visit in light of the article that he published in Project Syndicate last week.
