Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing'Oei, on Thursday, warned governors and other politicians to desist from interfering in Kenya's international relations.
The PS, who serves under Cabinet Secretary and Prime CS Musalia Mudavadi, added that Kenya had not taken any action to cut ties with Israel despite Kisumu Governor Anyang' Nyong'o advocating for the same.
In a statement, Sing'Oei noted that Kenya will continue to call for an immediate ceasefire and resumption of dialogue between Israel and the Palestine militia - Hamas - to resolve the escalating conflict.
"Foreign policy is the exclusive domain of the National Government. Kenya abhors the gross violation of international humanitarian law in Gaza," Sing'Oei emphasised that all government authorities should stick to their jurisdictions.
Kisumu Governor, Anyang' Nyong'o, had asked the African Union to direct its member countries to cut diplomatic relations with Israel.
According to Nyong'o, ending relations with the Israelis would prove that the African Union stands with the people of Gaza and the West Bank.
"The bloody conflict between Israel and Palestine has had a ripple effect on many countries across the world. Progressive forces in Africa, led by the African Union, can not stand by and let this happen," Nyong'o remarked.
In October, President William Ruto announced Kenya's support for Israel, contrary to other continental leaders who either supported Palestine or took a neutral stand.
Ruto condemned the attack on Israel by the Hamas group adding that Kenya sympathises with all the victims.
However, last week he changed his stance and stated that Palestine should be a free State.
"We believe that terrorism cannot be an answer to any conflict; neither is occupation. We believe that Palestine should be a free state and we stand for a two-nation solution as a means of resolving the conflict," the President stated.
The ongoing war between Israel and Palestine has resulted in thousands of deaths, with the international community calling for an amicable solution.
