''The tears shed for Israel by the Western powers, who turn a blind eye to the oppression and suffering in Gaza, are nothing but the sheer height of fraud.'' Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said.

''The most concrete example of this hypocrisy is the contrast between their concern for casualties in the Ukraine conflict just recently and their seemingly indifferent stance toward the ongoing crisis in Gaza.'' Erdoğan added.

Biden consistently conveys his support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and, recently, he indicated his intention to request emergency budgetary assistance for Israel from Congress.

In response to civilian casualties in Gaza, all Biden could say was: "I am certain that innocent civilians have lost their lives. Such is the tragic cost of conflict. I do have reservations about the figures provided by the Palestinian side."

However, his statement did not address similar attacks in Gaza.

Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair

Blair also did not support the ceasefire in Gaza, saying: "I have no expectation that a terrorist organization will respect international law or any call for a ceasefire. Frankly, Hamas needs to be eliminated as a threat not only to Israel but to the world."

On Russia-Ukraine war, Blair acknowledged the courage and strength of the Ukrainians and affirmed their ongoing support by providing the comprehensive military assistance needed for them to continue their fight and secure victory.
