Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria, Michael Freeman, reassures the safety of Nigerians and other nationals in Israel amidst the ongoing conflict with Hamas. Freeman, during a press conference in Abuja, condemned the recent attack by Hamas, which resulted in a high death toll, comparing it to the gravest events of the Holocaust.
While acknowledging the seriousness of the conflict with Hamas, Freeman emphasized that Israel's actions are solely targeted at the terrorist organization and not aimed at Palestinians, Muslims, or Arabs in general. He stressed Israel's commitment to eliminating Hamas to prevent future attacks.
Freeman also stated that the Israeli government and troops would ensure the safety of Nigerians and other foreign nationals in Israel, emphasizing their efforts to minimize civilian casualties. He acknowledged the unfortunate reality that civilians might still be affected by the conflict.
In his assessment, the ambassador highlighted the brutality of Hamas and its disregard for civilian lives, emphasizing Israel's determination to protect its citizens. He urged international support for Israel's efforts to eliminate the threat posed by Hamas.
Freeman's statements aim to provide assurance to Nigerians and foreign nationals residing in Israel amid the ongoing conflict and underscore Israel's focus on combating terrorism rather than targeting innocent civilians.
