We are extremely concerned about the increasing number of Israeli attacks on the city of Rafah after the destruction and massacres it has already committed in the Gaza Strip, a Foreign Ministry statement stresses.

We consider this operation to be part of a plan to expel the Gazans from their own land,” the institution added.

According to the Foreign Ministry, the ongoing attacks will exacerbate the humanitarian tragedy in Gaza and undermine efforts to secure a lasting ceasefire in the region.

We, therefore, call on the international community, in particular the UNSC, to take the necessary steps to stop Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on February 7 that the military forces had been ordered to prepare for the start of fighting in Rafah, on Gaza Strip’s southern border with Egypt.
