European Union Council President Charles Michel has expressed strong concern over the Israeli military's evacuation orders for civilians in Rafah to what he deems as 'unsafe zones.' Michel deemed this action as 'unacceptable' and called on the Israeli government to adhere to international humanitarian law. He further urged Israel not to proceed with a ground operation in Rafah.
Michel emphasized the importance of ensuring that humanitarian assistance reaches those in need through fully functioning crossing points. This statement comes as the Israel Defense Forces have instructed residents of several neighborhoods in eastern Rafah to evacuate immediately as military operations intensify in the southern Gazan city.
