Queen Rania of Jordan: People View the U.S. As an Enabler of Israel’s Actions in the War

‘There are mixed messages about the American response to the suffering in Gaza’

EXCERPT:

QUEEN RANIA: “They see it as an enabler, you know. So clearly the U.S. is the country that has most leverage over the U.S. — over Israel. And like I said, you know, it is the biggest ally and biggest supporter. And the Arab world is getting — the rest of the world, actually, is getting mixed messages. So, on the one hand, the U.S. is demanding that more aid rightfully go back into Gaza. At the same time they’re — they’re denying that the starvation is intentional. On the one hand they are outraged by the attacks on the aid convoys, but at the same time they’re denying that Israel is violating international humanitarian law. There’s an expression of concern over civilian deaths, but at the same time there’s a provision of offensive weapons to Israel that are used against Palestinians.”
