(Times of Israel) IDF Spokesperson Brig.-Gen. Ronen Manelis told the French National Assembly's Foreign Affairs Committee in Paris on Tuesday that Hamas was taking France's donations to Gaza and using them to build military infrastructure and prepare terror attacks. Millions in funding from donor countries, "including from the French taxpayer, are diverted to building terror capabilities," Manelis warned. "Don't get suckered in by Hamas....This organization has murdered thousands of Israelis, Americans, French citizens and Britons in bus bombings, suicide attacks in malls and restaurants, and stabbing and car-ramming attacks." He added that the commander of Iran's Quds Force, Qassem Suleimani, is a "mass murderer responsible for thousands of deaths around the world...[and] sends $100 million each year to terror groups in Gaza." Manelis concluded, "The residents of Gaza aren't my enemies. Hamas has taken them hostage."
