EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell condemns Israel’s call for Palestinians living in parts of eastern Rafah to flee the Gazan city ahead of an expected ground assault.
“Israel’s evacuation orders to civilians in Rafah portend the worst: more war and famine. It is unacceptable. Israel must renounce to a ground offensive,” Borrell says in a social media post.
“The EU, with the international community, can and must act to prevent such scenario,” he says.
