EU leaders warn Israel against attacking Rafah
The leaders of the European Union have asked the Zionist administration of Israel to cancel its plan to invade and attack the city of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip.
The 27 leaders of the European Union have made the call after the meeting of the Council of Ministers of the EU in Brussels and emphasized that there is a need for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip as soon as possible.
They have said that the establishment of an Israeli ground operation against Rafah will make the humanitarian crisis witnessed in the Gaza Strip worse and worse.
In addition, EU leaders have said that the Israeli government's decision to expand military operations in Gaza to the southern city of Rafah will prevent the provision of basic services and the delivery of humanitarian aid to the residents of the city.
At the same time, the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned Israel about any military operation in the city of Rafah and said that the aid that has arrived in the Gaza Strip is not enough to meet the needs of the residents of the area.
Before that, Antonio Guterres, the Secretary General of the United Nations said at the Munich Security Conference that, "Any kind of attack on Rafah will lead to the destruction of one and a half million Palestinians in the area."
More than half of Gaza's two million and three hundred thousand residents have fled to Rafah to escape Israel's barbarism and brutal attacks elsewhere, and have flooded into large tent camps and settlements run by the United Nations near the border.
