Turkiye has accused the United States of having a policy of double standards on human rights, saying Washington’s annual rights report failed to reflect Israel’s assaults in Gaza.

According to Al Jazeera, Turkey’s foreign ministry said in a statement it was deeply concerned that the US report did not “duly reflect the ongoing inhumane attacks in Gaza”.

The report was prepared with “political motives, far from impartiality and objectivity”, it said, calling on Washington to cease its “double-standard policy on human rights”.

In its report, the US State Department said Israel’s war against Hamas had a “significant negative impact” on the human rights situation in Israel.
