In a recent statement on his verified Twitter account, former Nigerian Senator Shehu Sani made a compelling call for restraint in the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.
Sani, a vocal advocate for human rights and international diplomacy, urged Iran not to attack Israel while simultaneously calling on Israel to halt its military actions in Lebanon and cease what he described as a “genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza.”
Sani’s statement comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East, where hostilities between Israel and various regional actors have intensified. The conflict has seen frequent Israeli airstrikes on Gaza and Lebanon, which Israel claims are aimed at neutralizing threats from militant groups.
However, these actions have drawn widespread criticism for the disproportionate impact on civilian populations, particularly in Gaza, where many have accused Israel of committing war crimes.
By urging Iran to refrain from attacking Israel, Sani highlights the need for de-escalation to prevent further bloodshed and regional destabilization. His appeal for Israel to cease its attacks on Lebanon and stop its actions in Gaza underscores the growing international concern over the humanitarian crisis unfolding in these areas.
Sani’s call for a cessation of hostilities reflects a broader sentiment within the international community, which has increasingly condemned the violence and called for peaceful resolutions to the conflict.
