Queen Rania of Jordan has called on the international community to use its influence to pressure Israel to allow more aid into Gaza and bring an end to the ongoing conflict.
In a recent interview with CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” Queen Rania emphasized the need for collective action to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. She noted that while there has been a change in tone and language from the international community, including the US, more needs to be done to persuade Israel to take action.

Queen Rania’s comments come as the situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with thousands of civilians caught in the middle of the conflict. Despite Israel’s recent efforts to expedite the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza, international leaders say more is needed to prevent famine and alleviate the suffering of the Gazan people.
The Queen’s call to action also comes in the middle of talks of a ceasefire, with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other US officials pressing Hamas officials to accept the terms of a ceasefire.

However, Queen Rania emphasized that a ceasefire is only the first step, and that the international community must continue to use its political leverage to ensure that Israel takes concrete steps to address the underlying issues driving the conflict.
Queen Rania’s message is one of urgency and collective responsibility. She emphasized that the international community has a moral obligation to act, and that the people of Gaza cannot be left to suffer indefinitely.
By using their political leverage to pressure Israel to take action, the international community can help bring an end to the conflict and pave the way for a more just and lasting peace.
