At the 81st United Nations General Assembly in September 2026, King Abdullah II of Jordan delivered an impassioned address placing Palestine front and center. He strongly condemned the ongoing humanitarian suffering in Gaza and the West Bank, calling out Israel's operations for behaving with "terrifying levels" of impunity as a regional threat.

He warned that international inaction and failure to use enforcement tools like concrete sanctions, asset freezes, and embargoes have deeply compromised the global order.
