Queen Rania Al Abdullah said that Israel has become more daring to break more legal and moral boundaries, explaining that impunity never corrects itself.

“What we are seeing here goes beyond complacency,” she added. “When a red line is not really a red line, it becomes a green light and becomes permission, and the Palestinians are paying the ultimate price for this ‘permission’ to break all norms.”

During an interview on the American ABC News network conducted the day before yesterday by the broadcaster Lindsay Davis, the Queen explained that "this war is unprecedented in its scope and brutality. Gaza, which is one-third the size of New York, has been hit with more explosives than were used on Dresden, Hamburg and London combined during the entire Second World War."

“Gaza is breaking all records in the worst possible way: the highest rate of hunger, the highest number of children with amputated limbs, and the highest level of destruction of civilian infrastructure,” she said.

“The world operates on two different approaches,” Her Majesty noted. “Israeli suffering is acknowledged, while Palestinian pain is normalized, even justified. It sometimes seems as if Israel is the exception to every rule that governs our world, and the Palestinians are the exception to universal human rights.”

“Is it acceptable to use starvation as a weapon of war? Is it acceptable to target aid convoys, to target shelters housing civilians, to impose collective punishment? What does this mean for our world today? If the rule of law is undermined, can any other state really be held accountable for its actions?” Her Majesty asked.

She added: "Now we see another dangerous escalation in Lebanon. The risk of regional escalation has now reached a dangerous level. Yesterday was the bloodiest day, with about 500 Lebanese killed. Last year, 600 people were killed."

“No one will gain from such an escalation. No one will teach anyone a lesson,” she said, adding that “the only real way to achieve security in the region, for the people of Israel, and for Jews around the world who are sometimes unfairly held responsible for the actions of this government, is through a just and comprehensive peace agreement.”

It is time for the international community to act, she said, noting that "expressions of concern or even calls for a ceasefire are meaningless as long as weapons that kill civilians continue to be supplied."

Queen Rania stressed that "the United States has military, economic and diplomatic influence that it can use with Israel, and that it must start using it, because the risks of escalation are very high now."

She pointed out that the root cause of this conflict did not begin on October 7, and explained at the end of the interview that the failure of peace talks in the past was due to the lack of any effort to implement international law and the failure to set costs or consequences to deter the occupation, "so Israel felt empowered and built more settlements, and seized more land."
