Johanne The Fifth of Africa church leader calls for dialogue to end Palestinian war

Makururu weighed in calling for an end to the "unprecedented humanitarian crisis and alleviating the suffering of civilians."

HARARE, May 7 (NewsDayLive) -Zimbabwean-based leader of the Johanne The Fifth of Africa, Andby Makururu, has called for global efforts towards dialogue to end the war in Palestine.

Israel recently announced that a new, more intense military offensive would begin in Gaza unless a ceasefire deal was signed.

Egypt and Qatar, who both mediated the first ceasefire deal alongside the United States, have reaffirmed their commitment to an agreement aimed at ending the war.

Makururu also weighed in calling for an end to the "unprecedented humanitarian crisis and alleviating the suffering of civilians."

"We will continue to pray for the country," Makururu said after being awarded the highest award given to religious leaders by Palestine.

Makururu was handed the religious award yesterday by Palestine's ambassador to Zimbabwe, Tamer Almassri.

Almassri said the award is the highest given to a religious leader.

"The award is in solidarity with Palestine especially this time when Palestinians are facing genocide from Israel," Makururu said.
