JAKARTA, Wednesday, May 8, 2024 (WAFA) – Indonesia has condemned the Israeli military attack in the Palestinian city of Rafah and the forced takeover of the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed in a statement on X that any attempt to forcibly transfer or expel Palestinians, including from Rafah, was unacceptable and amounted to the ultimate crime against humanity.

The Israeli military seized the only border crossing between Egypt and southern Gaza on Tuesday morning, May 7, cutting off a vital aid route to Palestine already on the brink of famine.
