The Christian Association of Nigeria CAN has expressed concern about the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict that has resulted in the loss of countless lives, destruction of infrastructure, and deepened the humanitarian crisis in the region.
We are also concerned about its implications for Nigeria and Nigerian pilgrims.
In a statement in Abuja, CAN president Most Reverend Daniel Okoh says the recent surprise attack by a militant group on Israeli citizens, resulting in the tragic loss of numerous lives and abduction of several persons, including women and children, is a distressing event that undermines the pursuit of global peace.
CAN president firmly condemns any act of violence that threatens the lives of innocent individuals, regardless of their nationality or religious background.
3. While recognizing Israel’s right to self-defense, the Association emphasizes the importance of proportionality and the avoidance of harm to innocent civilians in any military response and expresses its deepest condolences to all those who have suffered the loss of their loved ones in these incidents.
He calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities and violence between Israel and Palestine believes in the sanctity of human life and the principles of justice and peace, as upheld by the Christian faith.
The CAN president urges all parties involved to engage in dialogue and seek diplomatic solutions. READ ALSO ; NCPC Suspends Scheduled Airlift Of Intending Christian Pilgrims
“Many Nigerian Christians undertake pilgrimages to Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and other sacred sites. The ongoing conflict in the region raises concerns about the safety and well-being of Nigerian pilgrims’
‘ Therefore, we advise that the airlifting of Pilgrims be suspended until normalcy returns in the area’
According to him, the ongoing war holds significant implications for Nigeria’s faith communities.
” It is crucial for religious leaders and communities in Nigeria to actively promote understanding, compassion, and peaceful coexistence among diverse religious groups. We must resist the temptation to allow this conflict to deepen divisions or inflame religious tensions within our nation, Nigeria”
CAN prays for the repose of the souls of those who were killed in the violent attack and the resultant war, as well as reconciliation, healing, and enduring peace in the region.
