Divisions that split Europe after crises broke out in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon have exposed the double standards that underpin its policies on the Middle East and Ukraine, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said on Wednesday. The Egyptian politician, who spoke after welcoming Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Alvarez to Cairo for talks, compared Europe's reaction to the war in the Middle East to the conflict in Ukraine, saying some European nations had abstained from condemning Israel’s aggression or taking any decisive measures. On October 7, 2023, Israel was subjected to an unprecedented rocket attack from the Gaza Strip. In addition, fighters of Palestinian movement Hamas infiltrated the border areas, opened fire on the military and civilians and took hostages. Israeli authorities say that about 1,200 people were killed during the raid. The Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Iron Swords in the Gaza Strip and announced a complete blockade of the enclave. The death toll from the Israeli attacks has reached 42,409 people since October 7, 2023, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Accuses Europe of Double Standards Over Middle East Crises
19:04 16.10.2024 (Updated: 14:35 17.10.2024) CAIRO (Sputnik) - Since October 1, Israel has been conducting a ground operation against Hezbollah forces in southern Lebanon while continuing airstrikes. Despite losses, Hezbollah has been fighting Israeli troops on the ground and launching rockets across the border.
Divisions that split Europe after crises broke out in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon have exposed the double standards that underpin its policies on the Middle East and
Ukraine, Egyptian Foreign Minister
Badr Abdelatty said on Wednesday.
"A divided Europe is undoubtedly sending the wrong message to Israel and the people in Egypt, Arab and Islamic countries, ... that there are such things as international hypocrisy and double standards," he told reporters in Cairo.
The Egyptian politician, who spoke after welcoming Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Alvarez to Cairo for
talks, compared Europe's reaction to the war in the Middle East to the conflict in Ukraine, saying some European nations had abstained from condemning Israel’s aggression or taking any decisive measures.
On October 7, 2023, Israel was subjected to an unprecedented rocket attack from the Gaza Strip. In addition, fighters of Palestinian movement Hamas infiltrated the border areas, opened fire on the military and civilians and took hostages. Israeli authorities say that about 1,200 people were killed during the raid.
The Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Iron Swords in the Gaza Strip and announced a complete blockade of the enclave. The death toll from the Israeli attacks has reached 42,409 people since October 7, 2023, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
