Israel?s twisted logic in keeping EU legislators out of Gaza | +972 Magazine
Israel isn't even trying to hide it's intentions anymore.
Israel says allowing organizations to visit Gaza inherently strengthens Hamas, even when no visits with Hamas officials are planned. Couldnt the same logic be used to argue for a boycott of Israel, considering Israels occupation regime?
Israel blocked a European Parliament humanitarian delegation from entering the Gaza Strip through Israel last week, claiming that the visit would strengthen Hamas.
In an email to the delegation, the Israel mission to the European Union denied that Israel refused an official visit of the delegation to Gaza but rather refused the use of its territory to enter the Gaza Strip. The email went on to explain, this is in line with the policy according to which Israel does not facilitate visits to the Gaza Strip which will strengthen Hamas, a terror organization designated as such also by the European Union.
