Former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has claimed that President of the United States, Joe Biden, is pushing for World War III.
World War III, World War 3, WWIII, WW3, or the Third World War are the names given to a hypothetical global conflict subsequent to World War I and World War II.
The ex-minister stated this Thursday in an interview on the Israel-Palestine crisis.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which started since the October 7 2023 Hamas attack, has claimed tens of thousands of lives and displaced millions of people.
The conflict has its roots in a colonial act carried out more than a century ago.
Biden has repeatedly shown his staunch support for Israel.
This, observers say risks damaging his prospects for re-election
Commenting on the development, during the interview, Fani-Kayode said: “If we’re not careful, what will happen is that such will be the rage of the Muslim world, particularly if Alexa the al-Aqsa mosque is destroyed and they build what they call the second Jewish temple on top of it, which is where all this started, by the way.
“If that happens, or if you continue to burn and destroy and bomb people in Rafa, and if this madness continues, the Arab government in the Middle East themselves will not be able to control their Muslim population. They will rise up in a second intifada.
“They will join hands and Iran will get involved, Hezbollah will get involved… Once Turkey gets involved, Pakistan gets involved on that side, and the whole thing spreads and of course, Mother Russia will also have to step in because it is the traditional allies of Russia and China.
“America on the other hand, will stock it, will provoke it and will keep pushing it simply because the Americans under Biden, for some reason or the other, are hell bent on provoking the world into World War III, not just in the Middle East, but also in Ukraine.
“And that’s the saddest aspect of it. And I pray every day the American people get sense and elect Donald Trump as their leader to stop this madness, to withdraw American troops from outside of the Middle East. And also to withdraw their support for what the Israelis are doing.
“I encourage the Arab leaders from Egypt, to Saudi Arabia and all the rest of them, to remember the dream of great Arab leaders in the past who stood up to evil and injustice and stood for the Arab people. I also call on the African people to follow the lead of great men, like the leader of South Africa, and so many others in our continent to stand up against injustice.
“Our liberation and independence means nothing as long as our Arab brothers are under the yoke of Israeli bondage and we will stand with them any day and anytime to fight that bondage.”
