Well hypocrisy hardly covers it as the bottom line is so clearly mercenary. So Türkiye President Erdoğan, always happy to take two incompatible positions if there’s something in it for him, made loud noises about cutting diplomatic and economic ties with Israel last October but crossed his fingers behind his back. So Türkiye continues to ship Azerbaijan oil down to Haifa. The ships cite a false destination and repeatedly turn off AIS tracking. But they pass between Cyprus and Syria in a channel that is only about 125 km wide in places. Pretty well equivalent to the Mediterranean long distance swim record.
