Jerusalem Institute for Strategic Studies President Professor Efraim Inbar told Arutz Sheva that in his opinion, providing humanitarian aid to Gaza is unnecessary and wrong.

“We know what Hamas wants,” Inbar said. “They want us to be in the sea. Hamas is utilizing Gaza’s economic issues in order to receive more money and aid, and they use this situation and the suffering of Gaza residents in order to gain international attention. Hamas is responsible for this situation.”
