European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen indicated on Wednesday that "the humanitarian support provided by the EU to the Palestinian people is not in question, but the bloc must review its financial assistance." Von der Leyen stated in a statement, "Our humanitarian support for the Palestinian people is not in question." She added, "However, it is important for us to carefully review our financial assistance to Palestine. EU funding has never and will never go to Hamas or any terrorist entity whatsoever. Therefore, we will review the entire file again now, in light of the developments on the ground."
