Ismail Haniyeh, the political bureau chief of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, was assassinated in Tehran along with one of his bodyguards, according to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
While the Turkish Foreign Ministry condemned the assassination of Haniyeh, Omer Celik, spokesperson for the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party), made a statement on his social media account. In his statement, he expressed condemnation of the “Zionist” assassination in Tehran.
“Haniyeh was killed in a murderous attack while fighting for the Palestinian people and their homeland. This assassination showed once again that the Netanyahu government is a network of genocide and massacre. The just cause of the brotherly Palestinian people will defeat these murderers sooner or later,” the statement added.
