Egypt's foreign ministry warned on Friday against calls from the Israeli army for more than one million of the Gaza Strip's residents to leave their homes and head south.
Such a move would be a "grave violation" of international humanitarian law and expose the lives of Gaza residents to danger, the ministry said in a statement.
Saudi Arabia also affirmed its 'categorical rejection' of the calls for the forced displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza strip, a foreign ministry statement said on Friday, adding its condemnation of targeting defenseless civilians in Gaza.
The Kingdom demands the lifting of the siege on Gaza and renews its call to the international community to quickly move to stop all forms of military escalation against civilians, the statement added.
