People and governments around the world have deplored Israel's military operation on Gaza's southern city of Rafah, where around 1.4 million refugees from across the territory are sheltering, with Indonesia issuing strong condemnation against the move as well as a warning that further escalation would "amount to an ultimate crime against humanity".

Dozens of countries have come forward in the past few days to denounce Israel’s decision to launch a military operation in Rafah, while a wave of public protests have erupted around the world demanding Israel’s immediate withdrawal from Gaza’s southernmost city.
The Foreign Ministry reiterated Indonesia’s call for a permanent cease-fire and urged the United Nations Security Council to “stop Israel’s brutal atrocities immediately”.
“Any attempt at a forced transfer or displacement of Palestinians including from Rafah is unacceptable, as it amounts to an ultimate crime against humanity,” the Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday in a statement.
“Indonesia reiterates its call for an immediate and permanent cease-fire in Gaza and the removal of all impediments to the delivery of humanitarian assistance,” the statement continued.
“The international community, particularly the Security Council, must stop Israel’s brutal atrocities immediately and prevent any further humanitarian catastrophe”.
