Queen of Jordan Blames Western World for Gaza Casualties

Queen Rania of Jordan criticized the western world for its support of Israel in its fight against Hamas, arguing that this support makes them complicit in the casualties in Gaza. She called it a glaring double standard and said that many in the Arab world perceive this support as aiding and abetting the mass killings of civilians. Israel has launched hundreds of airstrikes into Gaza and cut off essential supplies, resulting in over 5,700 Palestinians killed and a humanitarian crisis. Calls for a cease-fire have been made, but the United States has largely supported Israel's actions.
