Lack of common sense. Belgian development minister Caroline Gennez wants to continue funding Hamas through UNRWA. She is so blinded by electoral considerations that she has lost all critical faculties. 7 countries have already suspended funding by UNRWA including Italy, Finland and the Netherlands. The least Belgium can do is stop immediately with funding and urge the entire European Union, which it currently holds the presidency, to suspend funding to UNRWA as well pending a thorough investigation.
Besides the Belgian presidency is supposed to be neutral because it chairs the EU for the coming six months. The EU should have a common position. Given the seriousness of the accusations, it should at least be possible to suspend the funding. After all, we are talking about European peoples’ money. How can we have so little respect for taxpayers' money and for our European values?
Taxpayers' money must be respected. Don't waste it and especially don't use it to fund terrorism. Is that too much to ask?
