The Government of Kenya has broken its silence on the conflict between Israel and Iran, as reports of a potential war between the two countries continue to emerge.
In a statement, Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing'oei called for the restoration of peaceful relations between the two nations, following Israeli air strikes that killed senior Iranian military officials earlier today.
Sing'oei, speaking on Friday, June 13, averred that the Kenyan government was keenly following the developments in the Middle East, noting they had voted in favour of the adoption of a resolution calling for a permanent ceasefire on the war in Gaza, in which Israel is involved. "We are following with deep concern the escalating situation in the Middle East that has the potential to spiral out of control with grievous implications for regional and global peace and security," he stated.
