Queen Rania: “It isn't self-defense if you are an occupying force"

Queen Rania of Jordan shared a post in the form of a “story” on the “Instagram” platform, in which she expressed her objection to the recent Israeli escalation in Gaza, in which hundreds of civilians were killed.

The Queen wrote: “It isn't self-defense if you are an occupying force,” referring to the Israeli hostile operations in Gaza, and Tel Aviv argued that they were “in self-defense,” against the backdrop of the Al-Qassam Brigades carrying out a large-scale attack against the surrounding settlements. .

 Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, announced at dawn on Saturday, October 7, 2023, the start of Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood,” launching more than 5,000 rockets from the Gaza Strip. 

Palestinian fighters also carried out specific operations, storming a number of cover settlements and engaging in street warfare with Israeli forces. They killed and wounded a number of them, captured a number of soldiers and settlers, and took control of Israeli vehicles.
