President Sergio Mattarella told the
UN General Assembly Tuesday that Israel should avert military
operations at Rafah in southern Gaza after it pushed in to take
control of the border crossing with Egypt.
"A further escalation of the situation must also be avoided," he
said.
"I join Secretary General Guterres' call for military operations
at Rafah to be avoided because of the dramatic consequences they
could have on Palestinian civilians".
