Geingob appeals for peace between Isreal, Palestine

President Hage Geingob has appealed for peace in the Gaza Strip, following an attack on Israel by Hamas and retaliatory action by Israel, which has seen violence spill over to civilians.

Making his plea for peace, Geingob emphasised that the inhabitants of Gaza had a right to basic services. “The people of Gaza have a right to water; they have a right to food and electricity; they have a right to fuel and other basic necessities," Geingob said.

Geingob also called for an immediate ceasefire and appealed to all parties to return to the negotiating table and pursue the moral path of a two-state solution where the people of Palestine and Israel can live and co-exist as neighbours in peace and harmony.
