Our position on Rafah is clear, and we have been repeating it for several weeks now.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8423562\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Palestinian civilians have nowhere to go. The killing of innocent civilians is completely unacceptable. The decisions of the International Court of Justice are binding. The level of civilian suffering is catastrophic.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8423563\" data-originallang=\"fr\">That is why there must be an immediate ceasefire.</p>",

Notre position sur Rafah, elle est claire. Nous l'avons donn\u00e9e depuis maintenant plusieurs semaines.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8423562\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Les civils palestiniens n'ont nulle part o\u00f9 aller. Le fait de tuer des civils innocents est compl\u00e8tement inacceptable. Les d\u00e9cisions de la Cour internationale de justice sont contraignantes. Le niveau de souffrance des civils est catastrophique.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8423563\" data-originallang=\"fr\">C'est pourquoi il doit y avoir un cessez-le-feu imm\u00e9diat.</p>"
