Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has said that the European Union (EU) has not taken a fair stance on the Israel-Hamas war and the situation in Gaza and as a resulting trust in the bloc had been “deeply shaken”, broadcaster Haberturk and others reported.

According to Reuters, the support shown by European countries for Israel stemmed from “their debts” over the Holocaust, Erdogan added in comments to reporters on a return flight from Kazakhstan on Friday.
