‘The West will play with double standards on Ukraine and Gaza until it fully isolates itself’, – Former President of Turkey said

Former Turkish President Abdullah Gül criticized the US and its allies for their “dangerous game” with their “hypocritical double standards” towards Israel and Russia.

In an exclusive interview with Nikkei Asia, he stated that the West’s policy will lead to its “isolation from the rest of the world.”

“When it comes to Ukraine, they talk about territorial integrity, human rights, killing civilians, claiming that Russia is violating international law. But at the same time, when Israel kills a large number of civilians in Gaza in a short period of time, the US vetoed the ceasefire [in the UN Security Council],” Gül noted.

“Many nations and countries in the world feel more sympathetic to authoritarian regimes due to the blind support of Israel by the West,” the former Turkish president believes.

In his opinion, “if and when” necessary, instead of the US, countries from the Middle East, many Muslim countries, African countries, and many movements in Europe may stand on the side of China and Russia.
