EU worried Israel might extend Gaza war to a 'pressure cooker' town near Egypt

Firstpost  

Expressing deep concern over reports that the Israeli military intends to take its battle against Hamas to the town of Rafah at Gaza’s border with Egypt, the European Union on Saturday a cease-fire is agreed upon between Israel and Hamas otherwise the conflict will spread throughout the region. They claimed they were safe zones, but in fact what we see is that the bombing affecting the civilian population continues and it is creating a very dire situation.” The EU’s top diplomat warned that conflict is likely to spread throughout the region unless a cease-fire is agreed upon between Israel and Hamas after U.S. airstrikes hit dozens of sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iranian-backed militias and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. The United Nations said the town is becoming a “pressure cooker of despair.” Speaking in Brussels before chairing informal talks among EU foreign ministers, Borrell said that the Israel-Hamas war has created “a domino effect,” with conflict also erupting in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and in the Red Sea area. “As long as the war in Gaza continues, it is very difficult to believe that the situation in the Red Sea will improve, because one thing is related with the other.” Belgian Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib, whose country currently holds the EU’s rotating presidency, warned of “a real risk of spillover of the conflict.” “It’s a huge concern.
