CS Kuria stated that Benny Hinn, with a background connected to both Israel and Palestine, embraced a biased perspective on the conflict that has affected the region.
Kuria also questioned the circumstances leading to this, given that Benny Hinn made the remarks during the Nyayo crusade, which was a semi-official state event.
“Kenya continues to call for a cessation of hostilities even as we show solidarity with Israel over the October 7 terror attacks,” he remarked.
He further stated that Kenya endorsed the self-determination rights of the Palestinian people.

Kenya’s Foreign Policy on Middle East Affairs

“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,” he stated then.
During a November 2023 gathering of African leaders with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, President William Ruto endorsed the concept of a two-state resolution.
