Iran Press/ Africa: Tuggar was visiting Qatar as part of a delegation led by Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
There is no justification for the carnage that is going on in Gaza. It has to stop. There is no justification for the complete disregard for the proportionality of force that is being meted out on innocent civilians, on kids on children, on babies on women, Tuggar said.
"Nigeria has been consistent with its support for a two-state solution. The state of Palestine has every right to exist as an independent sovereign nation, the same way that Israel has a right to exist as an independent sovereign nation," said the foreign minister, adding "But this carnage is completely out of hand and unacceptable. There is no way to explain the double standards; it has to stop."
Israel has pounded the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7. killing at least 30,631 and wounding 72,043 others.
The Israeli regime had announced its goal from the beginning of the operation to destroy Hamas and then release the Israeli captives in Gaza, but after more than four months, not only this goal has not been achieved, but Israel's insistence on these two goals has caused differences in that society.
Experts believe that Israel is now in a dilemma and must choose between destroying Hamas or freeing the captives. Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of the Zionist regime, is under very strong domestic pressure from members of the right-wing part of the government.
Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s national security minister, and Bezalel Smotrich, the finance minister, have been threatening to leave the government if Netanyahu enters a deal they say is unfavorable to the regime, including the release of thousands of Palestinian detainees from Israeli jails.
He also has pressure from the opposition Benny Gantz, who joined Netanyahu’s emergency government. He and his party are not part of the wider coalition and Gantz is saying that if Netanyahu continues to cave to the right, he’s going to leave the emergency government.
Then you have another member of the opposition, Yair Lapid, who has said that if the right-wing leaves the government, his party is ready to step in to offer Netanyahu a safety net if it means agreeing to a deal that would bring back captives from Gaza.
Pressure also continues to mount on Netanyahu from the Americans as well as from the families of the captives and also those people who have been displaced on the northern side of its border, experts believe that the destruction of Hamas is a far-fetched goal.
