Pastor Adeboye under attack for condemning Hamas and backing Israel [Video]

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has faced criticism for expressing his support for Israel in the ongoing conflict with Hamas.

In a brief video posted on his official handle, he stated that he believed God would grant Israel absolute victory in the conflict, which has escalated into total military warfare in the Gaza Strip.

The Israel-Hamas conflict has already claimed the lives of 2,300 people on both sides, according to reports from humanitarian organizations.

Pastor Adeboye believed that this war will bring lasting peace to Israel, and he offered prayers and support for the nation.

However, some Nigerians expressed discontent with the pastor’s stance, accusing him of overlooking the issues in Nigeria while focusing on Israel.

Many questioned why he hadn’t spoken out on matters within his home country.

Uncle big dreams:

I grew up to realize that most of our religious leaders are hypocrites. Where was he when Israel was bombing and destroying other nations like Syria? Lmao

Abubakar:

Only 1.9% of the Israeli population consisted of Christians. Also, 74.8% of the Christians living in Israel are Arab Christians. The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Is a War of Territory not Religion.

Mr. Orero:

Bread is 1,300 sir. Pray for that one, sir.

Danjuma:

Israel is not a Christian Nation. The war won’t stop now. It has a deep history. Israel answered immediately with Iron Dome and Missiles, not prayers.

Ayra Stark:
