At the 77th session of the UN General Assembly sessions in New York Wednesday, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas met with his Nigerian counterpart, Muhammadu Buhari. Given the ongoing Israeli transgressions against the Palestinian people, their land, and their sacred places, he informed him of the most recent political events pertaining to the Palestinian dilemma.
The two presidents talked about ways to strengthen their bilateral ties and the bilateral connections between their two nations.
Before to the meeting, the president of Nigeria stated in his address to world leaders that that his nation supports the Palestinian people’s justifiable demands for freedom, independence, and the creation of an independent state.
He said, ” Despite the challenging international environment, the United Nations has proved that it can be strong when the will of its members is harnessed for positive collective action. The guiding principles of this extraordinary institution is the promotion of peace and security, development and human rights. Latest in a chain of events challenging these principles is the Ukraine conflict which has already created strains that are perhaps unprecedented for a generation.
“Such a conflict will have adverse consequences for us all, hindering our capacity to work together to resolve conflicts elsewhere, especially in Africa, the Middle-East and Asia. Indeed, the ongoing war in Ukraine is making it more difficult to tackle the perennial issues that feature each year in the deliberations of this Assembly, such as nuclear disarmament, the right of the Rohingya refugees to return to their homes in Myanmar, and the Palestinians’ legitimate aspirations for statehood and reduction of inequalities within and amongst nations,” Buhari added.
Similarly, on Friday, President Abbas told the United Nations that, ” Israel is deliberately impeding progress toward a two-state solution and can no longer be considered a reliable partner in the peace process.”
