Hamas is now “making a fortune” from “stealing” the aid being sent into Gaza, says The Times of London Columnist Melanie Phillips.

Ms Phillips' comments come after the ICC ruled Israel was committing genocide and called for the arrest warrants of several Israeli leaders.

“The people who are deliberately causing the Gazan civilians pain and distress and indeed killing them deliberately are actually the Hamas who are stealing the aid for themselves and making a fortune from it,” she told Sky News Australia host Andrew Bolt.

“The idea that Israel is deliberately, intentionally wantonly killing people, which is what the prosecutor has said, is not just a lie, it is actually a blood libel and the opposite of the truth.”
