The Vice Chairman of the International Democratic Union (IDU) and leader of the Popular Democratic Movement, McHenry Venaani, has also expressed concern over Israel's declaration of war against Hamas in the region.

In a statement, Venaani emphasised the distressing and worrisome nature of the ongoing conflict.

Venaani stressed that a lasting path to peace and stability cannot be achieved through continued conflict and military action.

He acknowledged the legitimate security concerns of Israel and the rights of its citizens to live in safety and peace.

Additionally, the Vice Chairman of the International Democratic Union recognised the challenges faced by the Palestinian people and their desire for self-determination.

Venaani highlighted the cycle of violence that has inflicted suffering on both sides over the years.

As a result, the International Democratic Union calls upon all parties involved to reconsider and seek an end to the war.
