The European Union's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, has made a controversial claim that Israel financed the creation of Palestinian militant group Hamas, via Qatar, in an effort to undermine the Palestinian Authority led by Fatah. This assertion has publicly contradicted statements by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has denied such allegations. Concurrently, the EU has adopted a new sanctions regime targeting Hamas, with the first measures imposing asset freezes and travel bans on six individuals linked to the financing of the group.
