Russia strongly condemns assassination of Haniyeh
MOSCOW (AA) – Russia has strongly condemned the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the Palestinian group Hamas’ political bureau, in an airstrike on his residence in the Iranian capital Tehran.
“The orchestrators of this political assassination were clearly aware of the severe repercussions this act could have for the region,” Russian Foreign Ministry deputy spokesman Andrey Nastasyin said during a press briefing in Moscow. “There is no doubt that the killing of Ismail Haniyeh will severely disrupt the ongoing indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel, which were focused on establishing mutually acceptable cease-fire conditions in the Gaza Strip,” Nastasyin emphasized.
The official called on all parties to exercise restraint and refrain from actions that could spark a dramatic escalation of violence and a large-scale armed conflict in the region.
