EU urges Israel to end Rafah op ‘immediately,’ warns ties will be harmed if not
The European Union urges Israel to end its military operation in Gaza’s Rafah “immediately,” warning that a failure to do so will undermine ties with the bloc.
“Should Israel continue its military operation in Rafah, it would inevitably put a heavy strain on the EU’s relationship with Israel,” says the statement issued in the EU’s name by its foreign policy chief Josep Borrell.
