PNN – The European Union’s foreign policy official Josep Borrell has emphasized that dragging the Gaza war to Rafah on the border with Egypt will have unpleasant consequences.
Pakistan News Network; “As long as the Gaza war continues, it is difficult to imagine the situation improving in the Red Sea because the two are connected,” EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said in a statement expressing deep concern over Tel Aviv’s decision to expand the Gaza war.
According to the report of the Associated Press, the media published reports about the intention of the Israeli army to extend the war in Gaza to Rafah on the Gaza border with Egypt that it has caused a wave of concern among the member states of the European Union as more than one million people have sought refuge in this city to escape the war in Gaza.
In response to this decision of the Zionist regime, Burrell stressed that one million Palestinians have been gradually displaced on the Egyptian border and said that “Israel claims that these are safe areas, but in reality what we are witnessing is that the impact of the bombing on the civilian population continues and creates this dire situation.”
Israeli War Minister Yoav Galant said on Thursday last week that the Israeli army will go to Rafah after the end of the operation in Khan Yunis, but he did not announce a specific timetable for that.
Political analysts and Western officials believe that the entry of the Zionist army into Rafah will push the Palestinian prisoners to Egypt, weaken the compromise agreement between Tel Aviv and Cairo, and provoke the anger of the United States. In addition to the very slow negotiations, Israel’s peace with Hamas is also at risk.
Before taking over the presidency of the informal negotiations of the EU foreign ministers in Brussels, Borrell said that Israel’s war in Gaza has created a “domino effect” so that this war has spread to Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and the Red Sea.
