Queen Rania Talks at One Young World Summit - Montreal

Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan urges the world’s youth to take heed of the dangerous precedent being set by Israel’s actions in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, which she warned had “great implications” for the future they stand to inherit. “This war has done more than set the Gaza Strip back generations,” Queen Rania said. “It is also dragging the rest of the world back to a level of lawlessness best left to the archives of history.” In a speech she delivered during the One Young World Summit in Montreal, Canada, on September 21, 2024.
