Monday, April 15, 2024 –Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has also joined Government of Kenya in condemning the attack orchestrated by Iranian State on Israel.
Kalonzo took to his official X handle on Monday April 15 to condemn the yesterday attack on Israel by the Iran government saying this time can well be used to end the ongoing war in Gaza.
“I join the international community in condemning the attack on Israel by Iran at a time when all our energies ought to be directed at ending the war in Gaza,” Mr. Kalonzo noted in a statement on our desk.
He seized the opportunity to laud the co-ordinated united diplomatic response by the Group of Seven saying it is a commendable move.
“Is the assurance by President Joe Biden that the US will not take part in any counter-offensive against Iran.
“This swift action has prevented a worse catastrophe. We all must now prioritise restraint and allow the United Nations to take complete charge and defuse and de-escalate the crisis,” added Kalonzo Musyoka who makes key principals in the opposition wing.
“Neither the Middle East nor the world can afford an all-out war at this time. The Middle East cannot go to war with itself so soon after Easter and Ramadhan celebrations”.
Musyoka’s reaction coming just hours after President William Ruto also sided with Israel saying the attack was unnecessary.
“Kenya is deeply concerned by Iran’s attack on the State of Israel. This disturbing development only serves to aggravate an already delicate situation in the Middle East. The attack represents a real and present threat to international peace and security, contravenes the Charter of the United Nations and should be condemned by all peace-loving countries.
Kenya, therefore, urged Israel to show utmost restraint taking into account the urgent need for all parties to walk away from the brink beyond which recovery will be enormously difficult.
