The European Commission is set to announce continued payments of development aid to the Palestinian territories, despite acknowledging the “risk” of funding Hamas.
In the wake of the October 7th terror attacks against Israel, Enlargement Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi announced a freeze of aid to Palestine. His announcement had clearly not been signed off on, with senior officials quickly scrambling to contradict the comments. But they still appear to have prompted an official internal audit on funding.
