(11,796 posts)Do you mean Israel allowed Qatar to send $ to Gaza?
That's hardly "Netanyahoo paid HAMAS"
If he hadn't people would be screaming "Israel starves Gaza!"
Netanyahu on Tuesday, however, dismissed those charges, claiming he only allowed Qatari money to flow into Gaza to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe, not to strengthen the arm of the administration there.
We wanted to avoid a civilian humanitarian collapse disease, rampant hunger and other things that would have created an impossible humanitarian situation, he said. Thats why successive Israeli governments allowed this money to go in, not in order to strengthen Hamas. We didnt want to strengthen Hamas at all. We wanted to weaken it and degrade its capabilities as far as we could.
