Qatar calls for ‘urgent international action’ to prevent Rafah ‘genocide’
Qatar calls on the international community to prevent a “genocide” in Rafah following Israel’s seizure of the Gazan city’s crossing with Egypt and threats of a wider operation.
In a statement, the Gulf state, which has been mediating between Israel and Hamas, appeals “for urgent international action to prevent the city from being invaded and a crime of genocide being committed.”
