Turkey's Erdogan Condemns West's 'Barbarism' and Islamophobia in Gaza War

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused the West of "barbarism" and tolerating Islamophobia in its stance on the Israel-Hamas war during a speech on human rights. Erdogan criticized international institutions and human rights organizations for not taking concrete steps to prevent atrocities and violations in Gaza. He also referred to the US veto of a UN resolution calling for a humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza and stated that the USA does not support the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Erdogan's remarks come amid criticism of Turkey's own human rights record under his leadership.
