A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Femi Fani-Kayode was called out on social media for a post in which he appeared to be consoling victims affected by the Israel-Hamas war.

This comes after Femi-Kayode shared a video of a Palestine girl who lost her mother to an apparent air strike with several crying emojis.

The video has generated mixed reactions as the former Minister of Aviation has through his social media posts approved the invasion of Gaza by Israel.

He once described Hamas as human animals stressing that we (Israel) will act accordingly.

Israel and Hamas are at war, after the Palestinian militant group launched surprise cross-border raids from Gaza on October 7, killing more than 1,400 people and taking hundreds of hostages.

In response, Israel has been pounding the territory with air strikes that have killed more than 7,300 people and injured 18,500 others, according to figures released by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah drawn from sources in the Hamas-controlled enclave. Many in the already cramped and impoverished territory are in dire need of aid.

The Israeli military said its forces had entered the enclave from the north with fighting ongoing. While a ground offensive has been widely expected following the attacks it is not yet clear any major operation aimed at seizing and holding significant amounts of the territory is yet underway.
