Saudi Arabia Warns of Imminent Danger as Israel Orders Evacuation of Rafah, Risking War Crimes: UN
Saudi Arabia issued a warning on Monday about the potential danger of Israel targeting the city of Rafah in Gaza, as tens of thousands of residents were ordered to evacuate due to the threat of a ground invasion.
The Saudi Foreign Ministry condemned Israel's "bloody and systematic campaign" to take control of the Gaza Strip and displace its residents, and expressed concern over the worsening humanitarian crisis and the hindrance of international peace efforts caused by Israel's continued violation of international law.
The text calls for international intervention to stop the Israeli genocide in occupied Palestinian territories.
The UN's human rights chief, Volker Turk, condemned Israeli orders to relocate Palestinians from Rafah as inhumane and potentially amounting to a war crime.
He warned that these actions could further endanger and cause misery for the Palestinians.
