Simha and Leah Goldin, the parents of IDF officer Hadar Goldin, whose body is held by Hamas in Gaza, said in response to the transfer of Qatari money to Gaza with the consent of Israel, "The government of Israel has developed a new tool to strengthen Hamas terror in Gaza. After the government has been harshly criticized for cash transfers in suitcases, the money was transferred yesterday by direct bank transfer between the government of Israel and the Hamas bank."
"This bank transfer is moral bankruptcy. All this happens without demanding from Qatar basic quid pro quo of the return of the civilians and soldiers held by Hamas, in blatant violation of Israeli and international law," the parents said.
