EU’s Borrell: Israel’s evacuation plan ‘utterly impossible’
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said a plan by Israel that requires more than one million people to move from northern to southern Gaza in a single day was “utterly impossible to implement.”
“To imagine that you could move one million people in 24 hours in a situation like Gaza can only be a humanitarian crisis,” Borrell told journalists in Beijing on the final day of a three-day diplomatic visit to China.
He said EU states “certainly defend the right of Israel to defend itself. But, as with any right, it has a limit. And this limit is international law.”
Borrell added that the only feasible long-term strategy was to pursue the creation of an independent and internationally recognized Palestinian state.
Borrell said on social media that he fully endorses UN chief Antonio Guterres’ warning. “Israel’s request that 1 million civilians evacuate from the North of Gaza across a densely populated warzone to a place with no food, water, or shelter into a territory under siege is extremely dangerous and virtually impossible,” Borrell wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).
