Israel-Hamas war: Nigerian Senate calls for ceasefire, asks FG to mediate

The Nigerian Senate on Tuesday, November 7 urged the Federal Government to work with the United Nations and other countries of the world to ensure an immediate ceasefire in the ongoing Israeli-Palestine war and also  facilitate a two-state solution to end the conflict, which has left thousands, including women, children, and aid workers, dead.

The resolutions followed a motion sponsored by Senator Adamu Aliero (PDP, Kebbi) and co-sponsored by 43 others.

Aliero said if the war does not end immediately, it might lead to World War III.

Other senators who backed the debate include Barau Jibrin (Kano), Enyinaya Abaribe (Abia) and Sani Musa (Niger).

The senators called for an immediate end to the killings, comdemning brutality on both sides.
