Former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan has charged the international community not to take sides in the dispute between Israel and Palestine.
Jonathan noted that the conflict can only be solved when residents of Israel and Palestine take time to understand each other.
He further stated that the differences can only be resolved when there is a ceasefire, stressing that such should be the aim of the international community.
Back Palestine Against Israel – Turkey President Tells Buhari
“I have been to both Israel and Palestine, and as a result, I have some understanding and appreciation of the human angles on both divides.
“Borders are often human constructs, but the Divine instruction we have is to love our neighbour as ourselves.
“The present conflict in that part of the world can never be resolved by nations and institutions taking sides. It can only be resolved by those living within the borders of Israel and Palestine taking time to understand each other until they come to a place where they can coexist, co-prosper, and eventually cooperate.
“For that to happen, what is needed, in the immediate term, is a ceasefire, followed by massive confidence building on both sides.
“That is what the international community should aim for. Peace. It is achievable.
