Queen Rania: It is impossible to celebrate the new year
Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah said on Sunday in a Facebook post on her official page in the occasion of the New Year that it is impossible to celebrate the New Year with all the suffering in Gaza.
Her Majesty wrote in the post: 'It is impossible to celebrate the new year knowing that it will start the same way this year ends; with unfathomable suffering in Gaza.'
'2023 has cast a dark shadow on our collective humanity - we realized that some lives are seemingly expendable; that international laws and principles are privileges for some, not rights for all,' the Queen added.
'But amidst this darkness, 2023 has also a bright light on thousands of acts of resilience, faith, heroism, and sacrifice... On people speaking truth to power... On millions posting and protesting on behalf of strangers living many miles away,' Her Majesty noted.
The Queen concluded: 'I choose to put my faith in this light; I choose to believe in the power of human goodness. Praying that the new year brings peace to us all.'
