[cont’d] EU Chief Charles Michel Condemns Israel's Rafah Evacuation Orders
———
Evacuation orders for civilians trapped in Rafah to unsafe zones are unacceptable.
We call on the Israeli government to respect international humanitarian law and urge not to undertake a ground operation in #Rafah.
Crossing points must be fully functioning and allow essential humanitarian assistance to get through amidst raging famine. #Gaza
All efforts must continue to secure an agreement for a lasting ceasefire. The EU is committed to a just and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution.
The establishment of a viable State of Palestine is key in this respect, side by side in peace and security with Israel as reflected in @UN resolution.
