| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Queen Rania of Jordan on October 25 accused Western leaders of “blatant double standards,” noting their reluctance to condemn Israel's bombing of the Gaza Strip, which has killed thousands of civilians. “Over the past couple of weeks we have witnessed a blatant double standard. On October 7 (the day the conflict began to escalate - editor's note), the world immediately and unequivocally supported Israel and its right to self-defense and condemned the attack that took place (by Hamas - editor's note). But what have we seen in the last couple of weeks? Silence,” Rania said in an interview with CNN. As Regnum reported earlier, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry , speaking at an open debate of the UN Security Council, said that Cairo favors a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip without additional conditions. The minister expressed regret that the UN Security Council could not adopt a corresponding resolution and pointed out the double standards that have been observed since the beginning of the crisis. Western politicians act "as if the people of Palestine are not worthy of efforts to protect them," he said. On October 23, the Korean Central News Agency published a commentary noting that the Middle East is on the “brink of all-out war” due to US policies of supporting Israel and applying double standards. The United States rejected a draft resolution in the UN Security Council on a ceasefire in the region, thus “destroying even a small chance” of overcoming the escalation, and the EU is trying to “yes along” with Washington, Pyongyang said. The situation in Israel escalated on October 7 after an attack by fighters of the Palestinian radical movement Hamas on areas adjacent to the border and rocket attacks on Israeli territory. Tel Aviv has imposed a complete blockade of the sector, is preparing a ground operation and is launching strikes on Gaza. According to the Palestinian authorities, their victims have already become more than 6,500 people, including more than two thousand children. The ground operation of the Israel Defense Forces in the Gaza Strip, as well as its abandonment, is fraught with big problems for Tel Aviv, so the Israeli authorities are maneuvering and do not make a final decision, orientalist Artyom Kirpichenok said in an interview with Regnum news agency . The ground operation was initially a big question mark, primarily because the lives of the hostages, many of whom had high-ranking relatives, were at risk, the expert noted.

| #1 See its not just Americans with historical amnesia. Black September. Interesting that before the 67 War in which Jordan lost the West Bank, there was no interest in Palestinian independence in Amman. |
