President Tinubu called for an immediate ceasefire and the revival of the two-state solution to achieve lasting peace and self-determination for both Israelis and Palestinians. He expressed deep concern over the humanitarian conditions in Gaza and warned that empty condemnations are not enough to end the conflict, which has persisted for far too long.
Tinubu stressed that Nigeria stands firmly behind the two-state solution, seeing it as a beacon of hope for both parties to exercise their rights to self-determination and peace. He urged parties in the conflict to respect the principles of proportionality and the basic rights of civilians, consistent with global legal and diplomatic frameworks.
The President also commended King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for convening the summit, describing it as a vital opportunity to renew diplomatic efforts and work toward sustainable peace. He assured the OIC that Nigeria, given its own experiences, would continue to support international efforts that advance peace and stability in the Middle East.
