As the Israeli government continue her apartheid activities in Palestine, it’s embassy in Nigeria on Monday gave some food items ostensibly to support some Muslim families during the ongoing Ramadan fast in the country.
The Israeli bombardment of Gaza has led to the death of 36 Palestinians, including 10 children, Muslim News findings revealed.
But, the Israeli embassy in Nigeria distributed food items to support about 1,800 Muslim families in Abuja
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the items donated included some bags of rice, beans, maize, groundnut oil, pasta among others.
Yotam Kreiman, Charge d’ Affairs of Israel to Nigeria, said that the items were put together to further deepen ties between Israel and Nigeria.
Mr Kreiman said that lessons from the Holy Books during month of Ramadan often reminded people of their needs to always be kind, helpful and thoughtful, especially as the world slowly recovered and battled with COVID-19 pandemic.
According to him, it is important to lend helping hands and lead by showing good example, as enshrined in the Holy Books.
“We want to strengthen Israel-Nigeria relationship, not that existing one is not great, we are marking 60-years of wonderful diplomatic friendship and we have more to do together.
“More chances to grow, whether it is in the field of innovation, security or even assistance to those in need and this is what we are doing here today,” he said.
According to him, towards the end of this Ramadan month and at the end of COVID-19, which is a difficult time worldwide, we find opportunities to give and to donate.
“This is why there is growth in the numbers of food items, when compared to the previous year.
“We are joined together by organisations from Europe and of course the embassy and Chabad without which the donation would not have been possible,” he said.
He said that the gesture was in furtherance of the good works by the National Mosque on support to families in need, therefore the choice of Muslim community,” he concluded
I can’t believe this , don’t they know that Muslims are United to be one, injury to one is injury to all.May Allah fight the Israelites on our behalf.
