Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Jolie said on Sunday that the planned Israeli attack on the city of Rafah, in the far south of the Gaza Strip, "is unacceptable because the Palestinians have nowhere to go."

“We believe in Israel’s right to exist, and we also have a foreign policy that revolves around human security, and the protection of civilians is at the heart of everything we do,” Jolie said during a panel discussion at the German Research Center on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.

“We need an Israeli government that is ready to talk about a two-state solution,” she stressed.

She explained that the Israeli attack on the city of Rafah "is unacceptable because the Palestinians have nowhere to go."

Meanwhile, Jolie said that “Arab countries must normalize diplomatic relations with Israel, which will include a security agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia.”

The Canadian Foreign Minister concluded her speech by saying: “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cannot continue waging his war.”

Israel is currently announcing its intention to invade Rafah in the southern region, which is crowded with displaced people, after it forcefully removed the residents of the north and directed them to the south, claiming that it is a “safe area.”

Israel, which killed tens of thousands of Palestinians in its devastating war on the Gaza Strip, forced most of the Palestinians in the northern and central Gaza Strip to flee to the Palestinian city of Rafah, bordering Egypt, amid estimates that it contains about one million and 400 thousand civilians, in light of international warnings of its invasion.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, leaving tens of thousands of civilian victims, most of them children and women, in addition to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe and massive destruction of infrastructure, which led to Tel Aviv being brought before the International Court of Justice on charges of “genocide.” ".
