Gaza Conflict Lasted For Too Long, Causing Immeasurable Suffering – Tinubu

 

President Bola Tinubu has called for end to Palestine conflict.

 

According to him, the conflict has persisted for far too long.

 

Tinubu stated this on Monday while addressing the Joint Arab-Islamic Summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

 

Recall that the Summit was convened to address the current situation in the Middle East.

 

Tinubu canvassed for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, affirming the country’s support for a two-state solution, where both Israelis and Palestinians can co-exist in security and dignity.

 

He called for an end to Israeli aggression in Gaza, warning that the conflict has inflicted immeasurable suffering on countless lives.

 

Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, in a press release, said the one-day summit was a follow-up to the Riyadh summit in 2023.

 

Onanuga said Tinubu used the opportunity to call on parties in the conflict in the Middle East to respect the principles of proportionality and the basic rights of civilians.

 

He further noted that this solution remained a viable part of lasting peace in the region.

“No political aim, no military strategy, and no security concern should come at the expense of so many innocent lives,” he said.
