EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell has condemned Israel’s order for Palestinians living in eastern Rafah to flee the southern Gazan city ahead of an expected ground assault, AFP reports.
“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 wrote in English on X.
“The EU, with the International Community, can and must act to prevent such scenario,” he added.
