Monday, April 15, 2024 - President William Ruto has reacted after Iran, through the Islamic Revolutionary Guards (IRG) attacked Israel on Sunday morning.
Iran attacked Israel using over
300 kamikaze drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles.
However, according to Israel
Defence Forces (IDF), 99 percent of the missiles and drones were intercepted
and only 6 missiles landed at Nevatim Airforce Base in Negev desert, slightly
damaging the base.
In a statement on Sunday, Ruto
said Kenya is deeply concerned by the attack, saying it disturbs the already
delicate situation in the Middle East.
Ruto also mentioned that the
Iranian attack is a serious threat to international peace and security, and is
a clear violation of the United Nations Charter.
“Kenya is deeply concerned by
Iran’s attack on the State of Israel. This disturbing development only serves
to aggravate an already delicate situation in the Middle East.
“The attack represents a real
and present threat to international peace and security, contravenes the Charter
of the United Nations, and should be condemned by all peace-loving countries,”
said Ruto.
The Head of State urged Israel
to exercise extreme caution in responding to the act of aggression in order to
avoid escalating the worrying situation.
“In responding to this act of
aggression, Kenya urges Israel to show utmost restraint taking into account the
urgent need for all parties to walk away from the brink beyond which recovery
will be enormously difficult,” Ruto added.
