In an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday, Jordanian Queen Rania Al Abdullah discussed the war in Gaza from a humanitarian perspective, claiming that airdrops and the current volume of aid are not enough. The Queen added that, “aid under bombardment does not stop the destruction, the death, and the heartbreak. We cannot save people from hunger only then to bomb them to death.”
She continued, “There are no victories to be had as long as this war continues.”
Christiane Amanpour asked the Jordanian Queen what it means to be marking this Ramadan with the continuation of the war in Gaza. The Queen said that these days, they’re “welcoming the holiday with very heavy hearts.”
The ADL responded to the interview on X, formerly Twitter, arguing, "Jordanian Queen Raina continues propagating false claims about Israel while diminishing the severity of Hamas’s attack on Israel. In no way is Israel’s war against Hamas - a vile terror org that uses human shields - equivalent to the unprecedented Oct 7 brutal massacre. Especially during the month of Ramadan, we hope Jordan will play a constructive role in de-escalating tensions."
Throughout the interview, Queen Rania placed the blame on Israel for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, arguing that Israel is responsible for cutting the people of Gaza off from basic necessities such as food, fuel, and water.
She also said that as Israel has left the people of Gaza entirely reliant on outside aid efforts, they continue to bomb and attack the people of Gaza as they are starving. She says that the starvation of the people of Gaza is an Israeli-made disaster, arguing that it is “deprivation by design.”
The IDF has claimed that Hamas terrorists beat civilians and steal the humanitarian aid that Gaza receives from international organizations.
