Reacting to the crisis in the Middle East, the actor told Legit.ng that different policies and declarations that fuel the crisis between the two countries should be address, including the Balfour Declaration.

He said:

"Many policies and declarations from the 1800s and before that period fueled this war we see between Palestine and Israeli today. So, while we advocate for peace to reign, we need to tell the world how germane it is to checkmate the policies and declarations surrounding the cause of the war. Balfour declaration is one of them."
