The Federal Government has called for de-escalation of hostilities in the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
A statement issued by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, said it was deeply concerned about the outbreak of hostilities between Israel and Hamas over the weekend in Abuja.
Ambassador Tuggar said that the cycle of violence and retaliation that the current escalation has assumed only “served to perpetuate an unending cycle of pain and suffering for the civilian population.
The Federal Government consequently called for ceasefire in the interest of the vulnerable civilians.
“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.”
