Military operation in Rafah inevitably put a heavy strain on EU’s relationship with Israel, High Representative says

The High Representative of the European Union Josep Borrell urges Israel to end its military operation in Rafah immediately, this was noted in the statement published on behalf of the EU High Representative, APA reports.

It was noted in the statement that this operation is further disrupting the distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza and is leading to more internal displacement, exposure to famine and human suffering.

“More than a million civilians are sheltering in and around Rafah and have been told to evacuate to areas that, according to the United Nations, cannot be considered safe. While the EU recognises Israel’s right to defend itself, Israel must do so in line with International Humanitarian Law and provide safety to civilians.
The European Union is calling on Israel to refrain from further exacerbating the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza and reopen the crossing point of Rafah. Should Israel continue its military operation in Rafah, it would inevitably put a heavy strain on the EU’s relationship with Israel,” - Josep Borrell added.
