President John Dramani Mahama has called for peace as tensions rise in the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran.
According to the President, the situation is not only affecting the Middle East but also has broader implications for the rest of the world.
President Mahama made the remarks on Monday at the Jubilee House when he hosted the National Chief Imam, Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, and members of the Muslim community.
Speaking during the engagement, the President stressed the global consequences of the ongoing hostilities and urged prayers for peace and calm.
“The conflict between the US and Israel and Iran is affecting not only the Middle East, it’s affecting the whole world. And so we pray that Allah would touch the hearts of everybody involved in this conflict and bring peace to the people in the area,” he said.
His comments come at a time of rising tensions in the Middle East, a situation analysts warn could have far-reaching consequences for global security, energy markets and international trade.
President Mahama used the occasion to encourage unity and prayers among religious communities, stressing that peace in conflict-affected regions remains essential for global stability.
The meeting formed part of ongoing engagements between the Presidency and religious leaders aimed at strengthening national unity and social cohesion.
