Ruto Shares His Plan to End the Israel–Hamas War

President William Ruto has explained how the United Nations (UN) can end the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

Addressing the UN General Assembly, Ruto said his administration is concerned about the suffering of civilians in Gaza.

Ruto said the Palestinians have been caught in the war between Israel and Hamas.

Kenya is gravely concerned by the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and by the immense suffering of civilians caught in the devastation of these military operations. We call for the unconditional release of Israeli hostages.

He stated that Kenya’s principles on human rights are clear and unwavering.

Ruto said the UN cannot focus on the suffering in one part of the world while ignoring the worsening conditions in Gaza.

“The protection of civilians and respect for humanitarian law cannot be applied selectively. We cannot condemn suffering in one place and turn a blind eye in another,” Ruto said.

Ruto also called for a permanent ceasefire, strict adherence to international humanitarian law, and the launch of a credible political process.

He said this in line with the African Union (AU) and United Nations 9UN) resolutions.

Only through such a process can the vision of a two-state resolution be realized, where Israel and Palestine live side-by-side in peace, security and stability.

Ruto Slams the Ongoing War in Sudan

Ruto said Kenya is equally deeply troubled by the worsening humanitarian situation in Sudan where innocent citizens are caught in the crossfire of a needless war.

He stated that fully endorses the Quad— comprising Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States, in affirming that there can be no military solution and that only political dialogue offers a viable path forward.

“We join the Quad in urging all parties, including SAF, RSF, and external actors, to respect Sudan’s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity, and firmly reject any attempts to divide the country, reaffirming our unwavering support for a unified Sudan for the benefit of its people,” he said.

Restoring Peace and Stability in Haiti

Ruto also asked the UN to focus on the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS).

He assured all partners and actors that Haiti’s security can be restored, but with the right personnel, adequate resources, appropriate equipment, and necessary logistics.

Ruto emphasized that the gangs can be neutralized, and the safety of streets, schools, hospitals, and homes can be secured.

He stated that the continued harassment, abductions, and criminal acts undermining the lives of Haitians are unacceptable and unjustifiable and must be stopped.

Madam President, as the UN Security Council deliberates on the next steps, we must not lose sight of the fact that the situation in Haiti demands sustained, coordinated, and undivided international attention. A careful and orderly transition from the MSS is essential to consolidating the hard-won gains so far achieved. I urge the Security Council and all partners to remain steadfast in ensuring that Haiti moves forward on a path of peace, stability, and renewal.
