Haniyeh’s assassination, a despicable act, says President Tayyip Erdogan

 

TURKEY – President of Turkey, Mr. Tayyip Recep Erdogan has condemned the assassination of the Political leader of Hamas, Haniyeh Ismail as a despicable act aimed at disrupting the Palestinian cause.

The Hamas leader was assassinated in Tehran, during his visit to Iran for the inauguration of the new president of Iran.

In a statement, he said
“this assassination is a despicable act aimed at disrupting the Palestinian Cause, the glorious resistance of Gaza and the just struggle of our Palestinian brothers, and demoralizing and intimidating the Palestinians”.

He said the purpose of the assassination against his brother Ismail Haniyeh is the same as the purpose of the disgusting attacks on Sheikh Ahmed Yasin, Abdulaziz Al Rantisi and many other Gazan political figures.

” However, Zionist barbarism will not be able to achieve its goals as it has done so far”, stressing that with the stronger stance of the Islamic world and the alliance of humanity, the terror inflicted by Israel on “our geography, especially the oppression and genocide in Gaza, will definitely come to an end, and our region and our world will find peace”

He said Turkey will continue to try all means, push all doors and support “our Palestinian brothers with all our means and all our strength.

“We will continue to work for the establishment of a free, sovereign and independent State of Palestine, based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

“May God have mercy on my brother İsmail Haniye, who was martyred as a result of the heinous attack; I offer patience to his family and my condolences to our Gazan and Palestinian brothers and the Islamic world.

“May God bless you with his paradise and beauty”, he said.
