"The remarks made this morning by the President of the European Commission are regrettable. Some of them also echo the false propaganda of Hamas and its partners," Gideon Sa'ar wrote on X.
"Once again, Europe is sending the wrong message, which strengthens Hamas and the radical axis in the Middle East," he added.
