The Senate has asked the executive branch of the Federal Government to collaborate with other countries in calling for a ceasefire in the Isreal/ Hamas war.

The Senate also urged the United Nations to revisit the issue of a two-state solution as a proposed framework for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In a motion moved by Senator Abdulrahman Kawu on Tuesday, the Senate described the emerging figures of death and displacement from the war as horrendous.

Lawmakers who contributed to the motion condemned the killings on both sides and called for peace, particularly to avoid a degeneration of the conflict into a World War 3.
