Israel's forced evacuation orders in Rafah ‘unacceptable’: EU

“Evacuation orders for civilians trapped in Rafah to unsafe zones are unacceptable,” President of the European Council Charles Michel posted on X.

Michel called on Israeli government to “respect humanitarian law” and not “undertake a ground operation” in the southernmost Gaza city.

“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.”
