Saudi Arabia calls for the convening of the UN Security Council due to the situation in Rafah. Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the Israeli military had received instructions from the country's authorities to prepare for the start of fighting in the city of Rafah on the border of the Gaza Strip with Egypt.

This was stated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia. The department emphasized that the country warns of the serious consequences of the assault and attacks on Rafah, which is the last refuge for internally displaced Palestinians.
