ZANU PF spokesperson, Christopher Mutsvangwa, has called for a diplomatic resolution to the ongoing Middle East conflict, blaming the unrest on the denial of Palestinian rights and urging major powers to engage in genuine dialogue.
The Middle East is engulfed in conflict after the United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran and Lebanon. Tehran has responded by targeting Gulf countries.
Mutsvangwa framed Zimbabwe as a proponent of diplomacy and international justice, highlighting the Palestinian issue as the root cause of regional instability and calling on the global community to act through dialogue and mediation.
Speaking at the Al-Quds Day solidarity event last Friday, Mutsvangwa said the turmoil stemmed from the treatment of the Palestinian people.
“The current war-like state of affairs, which originates in the loss of the Palestinian people and their rights, must be addressed by the global community in a fair and just way,” he said.
Mutsvangwa argued that peace in the region is essential not only for the inhabitants but for the entire global economy, noting that the Middle East’s energy resources should be a source of stability, not disruption.
He identified the United Nations, particularly the Security Council, as the ideal institution to mediate the conflict, linking this position to Zimbabwe's campaign for a seat on the council.
“Zimbabwe is campaigning to become a member of the Security Council because we value this institution. So historically, these people share a common root. They share a common root. Why can't we find each other? We are all brothers. We are survivors,” Mutsvangwa said.
