PC party leader attends the protest in support of fishermen | SaltWire #newsupdate #newfoundlandSYDNEY - Australia and Britain said in a joint statement on Friday there were potentially devastating consequences of an Israeli ground invasion of Rafah in Gaza.
"Given the large number of displaced persons taking refuge in the area and lack of safe spaces in Gaza, ministers shared deep concern at the potentially devastating consequences for the civilian population of an expanded Israeli military operation in Rafah," the statement said.
The statement was issued after the defence and foreign secretaries of Britain met with their Australian counterparts in Adelaide. The two countries were also strongly critical of Russia's continued invasion of Ukraine, and warned against destabilising military activity in the South China Sea, where China has been increasingly building a presence.
