A former President of Nigeria, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, says the present conflict in Palestine and Israel, cannot be resolved by nations and institutions taking sides.

The Statesman through his verified Facebook page, said the conflict can only be resolved by those living within the borders of Israel and Palestine. He pointed that these persons needs to take time to understand each other till they come to a levelled ground where they can co-exist, co-prosper, and eventually, co-operate.

Jonathan further stated that the International community should ceasefire and aim for peace.

He called for international support to deescalating the conflict, rather than escalating it.

 

“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 neighbor 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.

I sue for peace in both Israel and Palestine, and urge that every international support should be towards deescalating the conflict, rather than escalating it” Jonathan said.
