The High Representative of Foreign Policy of the European Union, Josep Borrell, affirmed on Friday that the State of Israel financed the creation of Hamas in an attempt to weaken the Palestinian National Authority and advocated "imposing from the outside", from the "international community", the creation of a Palestinian State despite Israel's refusal.
This was stated by Borrell during his speech at the solemn investiture ceremony, at the proposal of the Institute of European Studies, as an 'honoris causa' doctor from the University of Valladolid, where he warned that if we do not intervene in this way, the "spiral of hatred will continue generation after generation.
"The actors are too opposed to be able to reach an agreement autonomously," argued Borrell, already in statements to the media, and encouraged the "Arab world, Europe, the United States and the entire UN" to adopt this decision of recognize the creation of a Palestinian state despite Israel's opposition.
"We only believe that a two-state solution imposed from outside would bring peace, even if Israel insists on the negative," Borrell said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denied accusations from his opponents in Israel and some global media that his government spent years actively boosting Hamas in Gaza.
"Yes, Hamas was financed by the Government of Israel in an attempt to weaken the Palestinian Authority led by Fatah," said Borrell, without giving further details about said alleged financing.
