The group noted that it is time to prioritize humanity over geopolitical interests and stop using the conflict as a pawn in the proxy war between the U.S. and Iran while imploring the UN and the US to engage in diplomatic dialogues with Iran and Saudi Arabia, among other relevant stakeholders, to facilitate a peaceful agreement between the warring states.
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Monday, Chairman of the group, Shalom Olaseni, noted that the toll on human lives and the suffering endured by countless families in the region demands immediate action, stressing that innocent lives caught in the crossfire must resonate with every conscience on earth.
Olaseni said: “The United Global Resolve for Peace stands with unwavering concern and urgency to address the escalating Israel-Palestine conflict, now further compounded by the dangerous dimension introduced by Hamas. We express our deep distress at the unfolding humanitarian crisis, which poses an imminent threat to global peace and security ”.
“The recent developments, fueled by Hamas’ actions have pushed the region to the brink of catastrophe. We cannot ignore the harrowing consequences of this conflict on the lives of innocent civilians, whose suffering knows no boundaries. The world must recognize that this is not a localized issue; it is a global crisis with ramifications far beyond the Middle East.
“The UGRFP urgently calls upon the international community, specifically, the United Nations and the United States of America, to lead the way in seeking a lasting solution to this protracted conflict. We implore the UN and the U.S. to engage in diplomatic dialogues with Iran and Saudi Arabia, among other relevant stakeholders, to facilitate a comprehensive peace agreement. It is time to prioritize humanity over geopolitical interests and stop using this conflict as a pawn in the proxy war between the U.S. and Iran.
“The toll on human lives and the suffering endured by countless families in the region demand immediate action. The cries of innocent children, women, and men caught in the crossfire must resonate with every conscience on this planet.
