Paris reiterates ‘strong opposition’ to Israeli attack on Rafah – Israel’s Rafah evacuation order ‘unacceptable’, says Borel
France today reiterated its “strong opposition” to an Israeli attack on Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, the foreign ministry said, as Israel launched an operation to evacuate tens of thousands of Palestinians from the city.
Paris recalls “that the forced displacement of a civilian population constitutes a war crime under international law”, underlines the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
At the same time, Israel must renounce a ground military operation against Rafah, the head of European diplomacy said today, adding that the European Union and the international community “can and must” act to prevent such a scenario.
“Israel’s evacuation orders to civilians in Rafah portend the worst: more war and famine. This is unacceptable. Israel must renounce a ground operation” in Rafah, wrote Josep Borrell in a post on X.
“The European Union, together with the international community, can and must act to prevent such a scenario,” he added.
