Hamas-Israel War: Angolan president calls for swift end to Middle East conflicts
President Joao Lourenco of Angola has called for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, emphasising the need for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
The world cannot continue to accept the alarming daily death toll of civilians in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, Mr Lourenco said during his annual address on the state of the nation at the Angolan Parliament in Luanda.
According to him, Angola supports efforts to find a lasting peace in the region, rooted in respect for the United Nations Charter, the principles of non-aggression, the inviolability of borders and the defence of state sovereignty.
He stressed the importance of ending the occupation of Palestinian territories and creating an independent and sovereign Palestinian state.
He stressed that the international community must unite to stop these wars, protect innocent lives and promote peace and security in the Middle East, given the global repercussions of these conflicts.
