The Federal Government of Nigeria has called for a de-escalation of the latest crisis between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas’ militant group.
The Federal Government, in a statement signed by Amb. Yusuf M. Tuggar, Minister of Foreign Affairs, said Nigeria is deeply concerned about the outbreak of hostilities between Israel and Hamas in the early hours of Saturday.
The Nigerian government called for immediate de-escalation and ceasefire.
“The cycle of violence and retaliation that the current escalation has assumed, only serves to perpetuate an unending cycle of pain and suffering for the civilian population that bears the brunt of every conflict.
“The Federal Government of Nigeria, therefore, calls on both sides to exercise restraint, prioritize the safety of civilians and give room for humanitarian considerations.
“We are therefore calling for a peaceful resolution of the conflict through dialogue,” the statement said.
