Pakistan Condemns Hamas Leader Ismail Haniyeh’s Assassination in Iran

On Wednesday, Pakistan condemned the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. The country expressed shock over the “reckless act”.

Early Wednesday, Iran’s state television reported the killing of Palestinian leader Ismail Haniyeh. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards stated that Haniyeh and a security guard were ambushed at their residence, and an investigation is currently in progress.

“Pakistan condemns the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the Chief of Hamas Political Bureau in Tehran today,” the foreign office said in a statement, sending condolences to his family and the people of Palestine.

“We are deeply shocked by the timing of this reckless act, coinciding with the inauguration of the President of Iran, an event attended by several foreign dignitaries, including the Deputy Prime Minister of Pakistan.”

The Foreign Office expressed “serious concern” about what it termed “growing Israeli adventurism in the region.” The statement condemned recent actions as a dangerous escalation that exacerbates the already volatile situation and undermines peace efforts.
