Alleged double standards in the EU's application of international law towards Ukraine and the Gaza Strip are eroding Europe’s credibility with the Global South, with which the bloc is eager to strike trade deals, a former EU ambassador to the Palestinian occupied territories and the Gaza Strip has told Euronews in an interview.
“We have unfortunately lost our standing in the world. If you talk now to the Global South - the majority of countries with whom we want stronger relationships in trade, economic resources, raw materials, and energy supplies - you will find a situation where it is very difficult to mobilise these partnerships,” said former envoy Sven Kühn von Burgsdorff.
