After Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel would join the United States in fighting attacks against Christians in Nigeria, certain Muslim leaders in Nigeria have cautioned him against meddling in the nation’s affairs.
Netanyahu said that Israel would create a new front to defend Christians who are being persecuted in nations including Nigeria, Syria, Lebanon, and Turkey in a Christmas Day message to Christian Zionist supporters.
The Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria (MUSWEN) responded on Friday, calling it ironic that Netanyahu claimed to be battling terrorism in Nigeria while, in its opinion, carrying out acts of terror against Palestinians.
“Netanyahu’s statement that he would join President Trump of America in fighting terrorism in Nigeria is unfortunate,” stated Professor Wole Abbas, Executive Secretary of MUSWEN. His treatment of Palestinians in Gaza is nearly as horrible as terrorism. The International Court of Justice has declared this individual wanted.
“He continues to commit acts of genocide in Gaza and wishes to assist in resolving the same issue in Nigeria. What we are currently seeing in the world is beyond comprehension. Netanyahu is a criminal who ought to be detained and charged with genocide.
Netanyahu’s offer of assistance was likewise turned down by Bashir Ahmad, a former presidential aide. Ahmad claimed in a post on X that any foreign military intervention in Nigeria, including airstrikes, was needless and a breach of the nation’s sovereignty.
