Queen Rania pleads for cease fire in Washington Post op-ed

Queen Rania of Jordan has written an opinion piece for the Washington Post.

The piece is called “Christmas is Canceled in the Land of Jesus’ Birth” and can be found here.

Among other things, she writes, “This has become an unequivocal humanitarian nightmare. With each passing day, the threshold of what is acceptable falls to new lows, setting a terrifying precedent for this and other wars to come.”

She pleads for a cease-fire, something which everyone on both sides should support. She wrote, “Some will brush this off as a bleeding-heart plea, arguing that an immediate cease-fire is neither strategic nor sustainable. It is an indictment of the times that a call for a return to sanity could be dismissed as sentimentality.”
