Israel-Hamas war: Nigeria insists on two-state solution


The Federal Government has called for a two-state solution that will end the Israeli-Palestinian age-long conflict.

Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, made this known to journalists after a meeting with the Palestinian Ambassador to Nigeria, Abdallah Shawesh, on Tuesday.

Israel has heavily bombarded Gaza since Hamas gunmen stormed across the border on October 7, killing more 1,400 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping at least 240 others, including children, according to Israeli officials.

The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said the strikes have killed 8,525 people, mainly civilians and including more than 3,500 children.


Tuggar lamented that innocent civilians were being killed in the conflict, calling on both parties to stop hostilities.


He stated “I reiterated to him [Palestinian Ambassador to Nigeria] Nigeria’s position which is for a two-state solution and we are totally against wanton and indiscriminate violence against civilians.

“It doesn’t matter who is carrying the violence out, Nigeria stands against that and with regards to the current situation in Gaza, Nigeria voted in favour of a cessation of hostilities [in Gaza]. That is our position and it will remain so.”


In his remarks, the Palestinian Ambassador to Nigeria stated that he was at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to solicit the support of Nigeria following her prominent position in Africa in particular and the world at large.

Amb. Shawesh stated “We all believe that Nigeria with its heavy political weight all around the world and particularly in Africa can do something very significant, can raise its voice. Many civilian children will be saved. This is very significant to us.

“Also when it comes to humanitarian issues, we are still looking at Nigeria to do something significant, especially after the mass destruction of Gaza. We will need a lot of rescue equipment and we believe that Nigeria can do a lot,” said.

Abeg make i laugh small

Why should US continue to block Palestine path statehood?

This people are asking for freedom. And US continue to massacre them through Israel

Most countries of the World voted for state of Palestine only US continues to veto and kills them instead. US is terrorists. Israel is criminal.

Since 2005, Israel blockade Gaza on the land, sea and air. No export , no import. Gaza is an open air prison of over 2 million people. This is a crime against humanity. How do expect people like Hamas not to rise up and defend their people with what ever means. Israel should end the apartheid and illegal occupation of Palestine for peace to reign.

People are talking about cease fire without asking Hamas to release the Israelis they have in captivity. What led to Israelis invading Gaza is not given a thought of. Hamas should release Israelis they have in captivity.

Israel blockade Gaza on land, air and sea since 2005. No fishing, no import, no export. No flight comes into Gaza and Palestine generally since 2005. How do you expect people like Hamas not to attack? How do Palestinians cope under this situation?

And we insist on Biafra

Why can't Nigeria remove the log of wood in her eyes before removing the one in the middle east.

I hear they have a better life than Nigerians who are facing no case of blockade. Hamas should release the Israelis or the world should allow them to fight to finish. These are two options. If I slap you and you slap me back it shows you believe we have equal strength. The only way to establish that is to allow us square it up in the ring.

Hmm small yansh wan shake

okay

But you don't want two states.


Biafra and Nigeria.





One Nigeria hypocrites.

What do IPOBidients know?

If Nigeria government should treat them like this they would have done more worst than Hamas.


And the useless Jews slaves also call themselves a freedom fighter but they want us to believe that Israel are not fighting for their own freedom

Is all no longer fair in warfare? You people are very evil and hypocritical.
None of you is talking about the genocide in Southern Kaduna and Benue state here in Nigeria but you have been crying about the happenings in far away Middle East.
You want a two state solution for the Israel-Palestinian conflict but don't want the same for the Nigeria-Biafran conflict. Is there any better way to be double faced?

There is nothing really Nigeria can do . This is a country that had been fighting ragtag boko haram for more than 20 years without any success how much more fighting a side that has branches in almost all the countries of the world. Even starvation of innocent women and children cannot work

the question is what caused the blockade since 2005 or isreal just wake up and decided to start the blockade??pls tell us

Better face your business. Until every last Hamas terrorist is sent to Virgin Island, Israel will not rest. In fact that part of Gaza is history already. Know this and be at peace.

Freedom from who and for what?

Where have you Islamists ever lived in peace with non muslims??

The lives of the Israelis will be in danger if those Palestinians ever have the slightest degree of independence.

There's a reason India cages muslims in Kashmir, China cages them in Uighurs, Russia cages them in Chechnya, and Myanmar expelled them from Rohingya.

You guys are terrible terrorists, inspired by an evil book, called the kuran.

What have you been doing with your own freedom in Nigeria??

Is it not to dominate others, form terrorists groups(boko haram, ISWAP, bandits, herdsmen, muric, etc) and massacre them?

Which freedom are al shabab, Hezbollah, Houthis, al Qaeda, ISIS, Iran, and the host of other Islamic terrorists fighting for?

Hamas is just like any other Islamic terrorist group fighting for jihad, and not any freedom.

You reason through your anus..!!

Who told you they don't fish in gaza and as for port, you want israel to open port for people whose official aim is to eliminate them..!!
You people kept shouting blockade, what about the Raffa border? Why is Egypt not allowing them out either..? Of cos Egypt are moslem its doesn't matter...!! You would say...!! Such hypocrisy stinks...!!!

Until the sane few in gaza stand their ground and eliminate the terrorist among them they would continue to die like flies...!
It was all over on the social media, gaza people where jubilating and shouting Allah akbar during the Oct 7th attack on Israel and even throwing victory parties and dancing, now they are crying...they have not seen anything sef..!!
