Harris: We made clear to Israel that any major military operation in Rafah would be wrong (Anatolia)
Kamala Harris, US Vice President, said that she does not rule out that there will be consequences for Israel if it continues to carry out its military storming of the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
Harris added in an interview with the American ABC News network broadcast on Sunday: “We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a grave mistake.”
The US Vice President explained that they continue to consider the humanitarian situation in Gaza as one of their priorities, and added: “I studied the maps, and it became clear to me that there is no place for a million and a half people to go.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier this month that he had approved a plan to invade Rafah, an announcement that prompted President Joe Biden to convey what the White House described as “deep concerns” about the safety of many civilians in Rafah.
This was accompanied by the escalation of international and international warnings about the dangers of Israel launching an attack on Rafah, and the consequences of that on Palestinian civilians for whom the city represents a last refuge in light of the Israeli bombing that has affected various areas of the Gaza Strip for the 170th day, leaving tens of thousands of martyrs, wounded and missing amid a humanitarian situation described as catastrophic and famine. looming over the sector.
