President Bola Tinubu has called for an immediate end to the prolonged Israeli aggression in Gaza. This call was made by the president during the Arab-Islamic summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Tinubu expressed concern over the humanitarian situation in Gaza, noting that “the conflict in Palestine has persisted for far too long, inflicting immeasurable suffering”
The President who called for a ceasefire in Gaza, said Nigeria is in support of a two-state solution — where both Israeli and Palestinians can co-exist in security and dignity.
“The conflict in Palestine has persisted for far too long, inflicting immeasurable suffering on countless lives,” the statement reads.
“As representatives of nations that value justice, dignity, and the sanctity of human life, we have a moral obligation to collectively bring about an immediate end to this conflict.
“It is not enough to issue empty condemnations. The world must work towards an end to Israeli aggression in Gaza, which has persisted for far too long.
“No political aim, no military strategy, and no security concern should come at the expense of so many innocent lives.”
He added that the parties in conflict must respect the principles of proportionality and the basic rights of civilians, consistent with global legal and diplomatic frameworks.
He commended Salman Al Saud, the king of Saudi Arabia, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for convening the summit.
The president described the summit as a crucial opportunity to renew diplomatic efforts, noting that Nigeria is committed to advancing peace and stability in the Middle East.
