EU Admits to Double Standards’ Towards Ukraine, Palestine, Says that’s just International Relations
News - World: The European Union’s foreign policy chief has admitted that the 27-nation bloc applies double standards when it comes to the wars in Ukraine and Israeli-occupied Palestine but says double standards permeate international relations anyway.
Josep Borrell made the remarks during an interview with El Pais newspaper released on Thursday, when asked why Brussels is so much more willing to support the people of Ukraine than the people of Gaza.
“We are often criticized for double standards. But international politics is to a large degree about applying double standards. We do not use the same criteria for all problems,” he said.
Borrell also suggested that the United States was to blame for a lack of resolution to what he called the Middle East conflict.
“There is no solution to the Middle East conflict without a very strong commitment on the part of the US,” he said, adding that many attempts have been made but at the moment there appears to be no path forwards.
