Palestinian Presidential Spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh on Monday warned Israeli occupation authorities were starting to prepare for the biggest genocide crime by attacking Rafah, considering the United States Government responsible for Israel's dangerous policies.
Abu Rudeineh said the invasion of Rafah meant one and a half million Palestinians would be the target of genocide massacres and relocation attempts that had previously been warned.
"Therefore, we call on the US Government to act immediately and prevent genocide and evacuation, and hold Israel accountable for its serious violations of international law before it is too late," he said.
Abu Rudeineh said the US government, which provides financial and military support to Israel, opposes the international community to prevent the implementation of international legitimacy resolutions as well as to stop aggression, was the party that prompted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and its leaders to continue to carry out massacres against the Palestinian people, both in the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank, as happened in the Tulkarem Governorship and its camps.
He stressed that peace and security throughout the region would not be achieved without a just solution to the Palestinian struggle and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, with the sacredness of Islam and Christianity.
Israel's military issued calls for civilians and refugees in eastern Rafah to move north of the city, along with plans for operations to be carried out there. Israel has long wanted to invade Rafah to hunt down Hamas battalions.
The Israeli military said the evacuation of residents and refugees in the eastern Rafah was not a massive step in the southern region of Gaza.
When asked how long residents had to leave, Israeli military spokesman Colonel Nadav Shoshani said: "People have at least days to move," he said when asked how long residents had to evacuate, according to CNN.

"As I said, we have done it. We did a real-time situation assessment and assessed the situation," said Colonel Shoshani.
Meanwhile, humanitarian aid agencies have warned Israel of the impact of a massive land invasion on Rafah
"Any ground operation would mean more suffering and death" to 1.2 million Palestinian refugees sheltering in and around the southernmost city of the Gaza Strip, a spokesman for the United Nations Humanitarian Affairs Coordination Office Jens Laerke said in Geneva.
