Avast ye scallywags! Saudi Arabia be raisin' the alarm 'bout a possible landlubber invasion o' Rafah by them Israeli scurvy dogs. They be warnin' that this here may cause a right humanitarian calamity.
Saudi Arabia has warned Israel that a planned invasion of the city of Rafah may cause an imminent humanitarian disaster. The oil-rich nation is calling for an immediate ceasefire as Israel prepares to launch a ground invasion. Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has ordered the military to develop a plan to evacuate the population of Rafah ahead of the invasion. Saudi Arabia argues that the city is the last resort for hundreds of thousands of civilians who have been forced to flee due to Israeli aggression. The warning from Saudi Arabia comes after 31 Palestinians, including 10 children, were killed in Israeli airstrikes in Rafah. Netanyahu has vowed to fight on until "total victory" and the conflict has been raging for four months. The population of Rafah has significantly increased since the conflict began, with people seeking shelter there. At least 28,000 Palestinians have been killed and 67,600 injured in Israeli strikes on Gaza since October 7. Saudi Arabia, which has never formally recognized Israel, has called for an urgent convening of the U.N. Security Council to prevent a humanitarian disaster. The country has stated that it will not open diplomatic relations with Israel unless an independent Palestinian state is recognized on 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
