Jordan's King Abdullah said on Tuesday Israel's military campaigns in Gaza and army operations in the West Bank "negate human values and the right of life." 

In remarks carried on state media, the monarch who again called for an end to the war, said the Israeli siege on the enclave that prevented for weeks the entry of medicine, food and fuel and cut electricity supplies, amounted to war crimes. 

"These are war crimes.. we cannot stay silent," the monarch said.

With 60% of the population of Palestinian origin, the king's room for maneuver is limited.
