"Queen Rania's Bold Critique of CNN's Israel-Gaza Coverage"
Queen Rania of Jordan criticized the "glaring double standard" in Western mainstream media coverage of the Israel-Gaza conflict in an interview with Christiane Amanpour. She called out the skewed narrative that favors Israel and lambasted the lack of condemnation for the suffering of Palestinians. Queen Rania also criticized U.S. President Joe Biden's statements and took aim at CNN for publishing unverified claims. She referred to Israel's bombardment of Gaza as "butchery at a mass scale" and highlighted the complicity of the Western world in the mass death of civilians. The queen emphasized that the designation of Israel as an "apartheid" state came from Israeli and international human rights organizations, not Arabs. She called for freedom and justice for the Palestinian people.
