He added that the Israeli forces would eliminate Hamas so that there would not be a repeat of such occurrences in Israel or any other country.
Speaking about the safety of Nigerians, Freeman said, “Everyone is safe in Israel. Nigerians are safe. We will do everything we can to avoid civilian casualties. But the civilians will get killed, we should be prepared for that.”
Condemning Hamas, the envoy said, “There is no justification for Hamas to attack. They have no right to hold children and women.”
