Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said Saturday that international law does not permit an evacuation after the Israeli army warned Palestinian civilians that they must leave the northern Gaza Strip before a possible ground attack.

According to Euro News, Sanchez said during a meeting of the Socialist Party in Merida in the southwest of the country that Israel’s war on Gaza must be within the limits of international humanitarian law, which does not permit the evacuation of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip according to the United Nations.
