The Israeli Embassy in Nigeria has called for a collaborative approach towards ending insecurity and terrorist attacks globally.
Israel’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Michael Freeman, made the call in Abuja, during a screening of the documentary ‘We Will Dance Again’ directed by Yariv Mozer, to commemorate the first anniversary of the October 7 attack.
Ambassador Freeman, who is also the Permanent Representative of Israel to ECOWAS, recounted the ordeal of the massacre, saying hostilities by terrorists would continue if collective measures were not taken globally to stop such.
Freeman said, “The world needs to stand together against terrorism. Terrorism will not stop in Israel, we have seen radical terrorism here in Nigeria and in other parts of the world like Israel.
“We have learned that when it starts in Israel it never finishes there. Countries that face terrorism need to work together and be united to stop it.
“I promise you the terrorists are all working together. Terrorists do not recognise borders, they do not recognise the states or any other thing.
“So, we all need to come together, share our expertise, and work together to stop terrorism. Israel is ready to share and work together with anybody who wants to tackle and stop terrorism.“
The envoy explained that the country would continue to honor victims of the Nova festival by putting measures in place to revive its economy and restore normalcy in the country.
“We have shown amazing resilience. The Jewish people have been in terrible tragedy in the past and we have come out of it, and have moved on, recovered, and rebuilt.
“Israel will mourn and we will recover, and we will rebuild and ensure that this hostilities doesn’t happen again. We still emerge stronger and more importantly, the people in the region,” he added.
He further disclosed that the Israeli government has established an inquiry to fully investigate the terrorist attack, to learn from what happened, and to put in place everything needed to ensure it does not reoccur, adding there is no time frame yet for the inquiry.
‘We Will Dance Again,’ a documentary about the October 7 Hamas attack at the Nova Music Festival in Israel, aired on Tuesday night was organised by the Israeli embassy.
