G7 opposes ‘full scale military operation in Rafah’

CAPRI, Apr 19: Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven nations said Friday they opposed a "full-scale military operation in Rafah" by Israel as that would have "catastrophic consequences on the civilian population".

Ministers from Italy, the UK, US, France, Germany, Japan and Canada also slammed the "unacceptable number of civilians" killed in Gaza during Israels military offensive.

Israel has vowed to send troops into Gazas overcrowded Rafah area in its war against Hamas.
"We reiterate our opposition to a full scale military operation in Rafah that would have catastrophic consequences on the civilian population," the ministers said in a statement.    —AFP
