The Nigerian Senate, on Tuesday, called for an end to the Israel-Hamas war that has led to the killing of thousands of people.
The Senate also urged the executive arm of government to intervene in the crisis by calling for two separate states for Israel and Palestine.
This followed the adoption of a motion sponsored by Senator Suleiman Kawu Sumaila (NNPP, Kano South) and co-sponsored by 28 others.
Senator Adamu Aliero (PDP, Kebbi), who presented the motion, said the casualty figures in the ongoing war were horrifying and that if not ended immediately, it might lead to World War III.
He said from the United Nations (UN) figure, the war which broke out in October with an attack by Hamas on the Israeli territory, it said 18 places of worship had been destroyed, 22,600 residential units damaged, 19 medical centres, 90 education facilities, 70 industrial facilities and 49 media offices razed down.
