President Ruto appeared to side with Israel in the deadly conflict with Palestine as the AU (African Union) blamed it on outside forces meddling.
The warfare between Israelis and Palestinians in the Gaza Strip has drawn varied round-ups of reactions from leaders worldwide.
With the tragic developments, world leaders came out to call for the de-escalation of the conflict, others taking sides already.
President William Ruto sent a statement subtly condemning the Palestinians, adding that Kenya was in solidarity with Israel and wished quick recovery to those wounded in the attack.
“Kenya joins the rest of the world in solidarity with the State of Israel and unequivocally condemns terrorism and attacks on innocent civilians in the country. The people of Kenya and their government hereby express their deepest sympathy and send condolences to the families of all victims. We also wish a speedy recovery to the injured,” said Ruto.
Ruto’s statement mirrored that of President Joe Biden of the United States, who said that;
“The United States stands with Israel…We will not ever fail to have their back.”
The African Union would, however, appear to side with the Palestinians whose rights it said had been stepped on.

AU chairperson Moussa Faki called for a cease-fire, stating that the outsider forces meddling in the affairs of Palestine was the basis of the unending conflict.
“The chairperson wishes to recall that denial of the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people, particularly that of an independent and sovereign State, is the leading cause of the permanent Israeli-Palestinian tension.
The Chairperson urgently appeals to both parties to put an end to military hostilities and to return, without conditions, to the negotiating table to implement the principle of two States living side by side, to safeguard the interests of the Palestinian people and the Israeli people,” partly read the AU statement.
On Saturday, Palestinian militant groups from the Gaza Strip launched a large-scale armed offensive against Israel, breaking through the Gaza–Israel barrier and forcing entry into Gaza border crossings and nearby Israeli cities.
