President Ruto backs Biden’s roadmap to ending Israeli, Palestinian conflict » Capital News

NAIROBI, Kenya, June 3 – President William Ruto has backed US President Joe Biden’s roadmap to ending the Israeli, Palestinian conflict.

In a statement on his X account, the head of state indicated that the initiative is a crucial step in ending the conflict in the region.

In the plan, measures to address the situation and unite the two warring countries are addressed.

“I welcome the roadmap put forward by President Joe Biden to bring an end to the escalating and widening conflict between Israel and Palestine,” the head of state indicated.

In the first phase of the plan, a six-week ceasefire, withdrawal of Israeli forces from populated areas of Gaza and release of hostages and remains include some of the proposals.

It also involves the return of Palestinians to North Gaza and access to humanitarian assistance for conflict-affected persons.

President Ruto further underscored the importance of the proposed plan in paving way for a reconstruction programme in Gaza.

“Given the astronomical human suffering that this conflict has inflicted, I implore Israeli and Palestinian leadership, and all parties of goodwill, to support this plan,” Ruto said.

The President also emphasised that if the plan is strongly endorsed it will lead to Israel and Palestine coexisting with each other leading to a more and just region around the world.

“It is my firm belief that if this plan is strongly endorsed and faithfully observed, it will form the basis for a permanent ceasefire and the implementation of a two-state solution,” Ruto said.
