The Egyptian Foreign Ministry has issued a warning regarding the potential consequences of an Israeli military assault on the city of Rafah in southern Gaza. The ministry emphasized that such an attack could put more than one million Palestinians at risk, as they have already been displaced due to Israel's bombardment.
In a statement, the ministry urged Israel to exercise restraint and avoid escalating the situation further, especially during a critical phase of ceasefire negotiations. The ministry expressed concern for the Palestinian civilians who are facing a humanitarian crisis of unprecedented proportions since the conflict began in the Gaza Strip.
