According to The Times of Israel, a US official stated that coordination between the US and Israel was taking place while Jordan airdropped medical supplies into Gaza. The medical supplies and medications that were dropped by air around midnight on Sunday were parachuted to a field hospital in Gaza operated by the Jordanians.
Taking to X, Jordan King Abdullah posted, “Our fearless air force personnel air-dropped at midnight urgent medical aid to the Jordanian field hospital in Gaza. This is our duty to aid our brothers and sisters injured in the war on Gaza. We will always be there for our Palestinian brethren.”
The Times of Israel, citing Jordan’s official Petra news agency, stated that the airdrop was conducted because supplies for Jordan’s field hospital in Gaza were about to run low. According to The Times of Israel, the news agency also released an image of a single box being loaded onto a military aircraft that was covered in the Jordanian flag. It’s reportedly still unknown if the assistance made it to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Jordan’s Queen Rania said that the rejections of a ceasefire in Gaza are “morally reprehensible” and need justification for the deaths of thousands of civilians.
The Jordanian monarch in an interview with CNN, said that Israel’s bid to rid Gaza of Hamas is “short-sighted and not entirely rational “because “the root cause of this conflict is an illegal occupation.”
“If we do not address these root causes, then you can kill the combatants, but you cannot kill the cause. Under the rubble of these destroyed buildings will emerge another group more determined, and more motivated to do what Hamas did,” she added.
