The F.G. has demanded that hostilities in the confrontation between Israel and Hamas be de-escalated.
In a statement, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, the minister of foreign affairs, expressed his grave worry about the recent escalation of hostilities between Israel and Hamas in Abuja.
The circle of violence and revenge that the present escalation has assumed, according to Ambassador Tuggar, only “served to perpetuate an indefinite cycle of agony and suffering for the civilian population, calling for a ceasefire in the interest of the defenseless civilians.
The government also urged moderation and stressed the importance of prioritizing civilian safety while making room for humanitarian concerns.
Therefore, the Federal Government of Nigeria urges both parties to use moderation, put civilian safety first, and make allowance for humanitarian considerations.
Therefore, we are requesting that the matter be settled peacefully through conversation.
